This just seems like such an odd situation.
Close enough. Welcome back EB(ay) Games.
Selling socks to buy ebay is genuinely unhinged behavior
This man thinks because GameStop became the center of a gigantic financial meme boost that be can now strike gold again by acting like Musk and being a little troll. But instead he’s just signaling that GameStop is being run by a mentally unstable child.
eeeuh SEC not getting involved??
That GME cult is real and still active. They still have belief that it’s going to explode in price because this guy is a super genius. Crazy
he thinks he’s a celebrity but really just an attention whore
At least he’s showing how dumb leveraged buyouts are. Any homeless person can buy Google via leveraged buyout
gamestop ceo trying to buy ebay and then getting banned from ebay sounds like a side quest from gta online somehow
I am so glad I sold my stock, this shit is stupid.
I genuinely cannot tell if this man is serious anymore
the socks detail is what gets me
Generally asking, is everyone in agreement that this was just a stunt?
Gamestop is no longer a serious company
So he’s crazy. Got it
I own GME (and lost tons of money in BBBY) but Ryan seems like such a grifter
Cohen is a MAGA moron.. this tracks.
Turns out it was a grift all along.
So, was there not a formal offer made? I don’t really know how this works, but Elon was forced to buy twitter. Can GameStop not be forced to buy eBay at some point?
I read about this, what is his true purpose? I mean, it’s clear Gamestop will not buy Ebay and it seems a really long and weird shot, if we’re talking about visibility/pumping up the stocks.
At what point is this market manipulation?
Company announces they’re buying eBay. Price goes up. Even though it’s really obvious to anyone with a brain GameStop doesn’t have enough capital to buy ebay
Half cash, half sock
So eBay turned his offer down?
Or can we expect more nonsense from the clown brigade? Buckle up, to the moon, DRS, Yadda Yadda.
I really wish we had a functioning SEC
It felt like money laundering.
Since I saw the news interview and zero explanation on how GameStop is going to buy eBay I knew it was not going to happen, just trying to pump up the stock. Also why do an interview if you are not going to answer and act like an asshole in front of the public.
The Gamestop bag holders on Reddit are almost as obnoxious as the MAGA and Russian botnets.
Its funny as hell. As if the news is buying he’s selling his socks to pay for the takeover, saying it like it’s fact.
The fact is, he’s been buying Ebay since 2019 and already owns and has disclosed ownership of about 13% of the company. That’s not including things that are not needed to be reported such as options or swaps. Factor in Sultan Aladeed who has said he’s in on this deal as well, and well – idk if ebay has a real chance here.
They have no takeover protection, no poison pill, and the C-suite keeps selling shares and wasting money.
I mean who gives Gamestop 0% interest on convertible notes worth 4 billion? SOMEONE handed RC 4 billion dollars for literally nothing AND let gamestop dictate how that convertible note is settled – GME has the option to settle in stock OR in cash.
Ryan Cohen is a shitpost god. The financial media is not ready for such an unserious YET totally serious kind of guy. He makes holding stocks fun
He’s trying to take Elon’s „Cringiest CEO“ crown.
This man’s a crack head.. Wannabe Elon #2. Just ignore them.
GME = Qanon for day traders.
The dude must have used to play railroad tycoon. This is how i would grow my company in that game. Hahaha
