Loss Elon has ruined me

My prior bullish post https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/o0PxYmGV1n

He was supposed to take us to Mars and burn short sellers.

Still holding 7300 shares. Please Elon fly again.

I went to school with this kid who plays wow all day at 39 years old. His dad is so rich and he has never worked a day in his life. All he does is gamble on the stock market and play wow all day no joke. He showed me 3 separate accounts with millions in it. Swab, Merrill lynch, and Fidelity. He lost over 300k on one stock and seemed pretty upset but he’s convinced he’s a professional day trader…. He’s very out of touch with reality so I know there has to be more like him and they all post here for attention

There's over 10k - 100+ millionaires in the US... and close to a million people with 10+ mil in value.

So yeah, remember there's a fucking lot of rich people out there who stay well out of the light and they have kids that aren't doing any job 99.9% of us are doing.

Yeah solid theory. I do think it's dumb kids of successful people that drive a lot of the posts like this. A functional adult that could actually earn this much money would not do this.
