Topic: Elon Musk goes against Vlad of Robinhood full discussion on GME/AMC stonks - page 2. (Read 357 times)

I could not care less. Trust me that better alternatives would be build from scratch in t0! This is the concept of the too big to fail, right? Let it fail as failed business need to die and avoid to rot and, in this case, rob and defraud their clients. So let Robinhood die as what happened under the hood is really sick.

Honestly what happened at Robinhood is unacceptable and should have legal concesquences. Blocking stocks from being traded or even searched in their App is outrageous. All they are trying to do is protect their hedge fund customers. And now the Gamestop price crashed hard they Hedge Funds made even a good profit after all. I wish the politcians would not be one sided in this matter and actually do something against the 1% elite.

Elon really sticks his nose out for his meme community, since it's also the reason why his words are like the bible on all of twitter. With memes and the community aside, what Robinhood did to those retail investors are pretty harsh, and seeing that the shorts hasn't stopped and the hedge fund involved in the short squeeze still going on after Robinhood stopped opening active positions isn't just coincidental--they are brothers-in-arms. They can call it "barring illegal activity" all they like, or all the bullshits they said to justify the trades being halted but it's just not right. Elon voicing out his opinion on this issue, together with a multitude of renowned investors, is enough to get people's eyes regarding the wealthy man's privilege against the retail investors trying to make a quick buck.

But even without all the GME drama and Robinhood's fail, Elon's words seem to be very sacred to his community, that people will go lengths--above and beyond--just to justify and/or follow what the billionaire memer has to say on his sacred temple, Twitter.

I do have to agree with that one but millions of users will be displaced as Robinhood is the most used stock application, I think what needs to happen is for the management behind Robinhood should change and that they should be replaced with people that do not bow down to anything the rich people will try to make them. Hopefully, there is another application that will rise up and become the friend of the public. And we have to understand that the people in the administration of Robinhood have their hands tied because if my memory serves me right, the application is owned by a company.

interesting part is where Vlad says that there was no pressure on them, and they decided to stop BUY on GME to reduce risk, as their own decision, and they could also stop SELL button, so GME could go up, instead of down, but they did not decided that, because they thought customers want like it
must be joking, they obviously thought that stopping BUY button will be favorable by users

Thing is he asked the questions almost no journalists had the guts to ask dear Vlad. In my opinion, Robinhood should be dead and buried by now and the filthy little tricks they used to survive should make any robinhood users mad! If I was one, and luckily I am not, I would start a f****** class action!

Elon knows how to sway the hearts of the masses, especially on Twitter, with him having a cult following of nerds that accepts as the word of God every thing that he says, it is fairly easy to do that, now imagine if you are a nobody that talks back against a big personality like the guy from Robinhood, you wouldn't be heard or worse, you would be shunned. This is just the basics of public relations and Musk is winning the hearts because he lowers himself for the people to reach him, there isn't a lot of billionaires that accepts guesting in podcasts, be on a cameo on a cartoon show and be a meme lord on Twitter.

Yes agreed on both points you have made about Elon the twitter wizard.
Once he decides to go dark you know he is up to something because he likes to give his opinion and comment on everything.
It is his addiction of the attention twitter and social media gives to him as a platform to portray his view on certain subjects. Such as on particular cryptocurrenies and bitcoin.
Those tweets do have some sort of cryptic under lying meanings if you're reading it as some type of code.

What you say is very representative of us in the current state, the game continues with great seriousness, even though the player has another purpose. we as the audience can only see from the point of view of small crypto owners who expect their humility to return our lost portfolio after yesterday's bubble.

Listening to the interview right now--I'm always a little slow on the uptake of news like this, but I'm starting to get a good idea of what happened with Robinhood and Gamestop stock and Elon Musk's stance on bitcoin.

Dunno.  I don't really care one way or another what anyone thinks about bitcoin, no matter how influential they are.  I respect Warren Buffett more than Musk, but Buffett's bashing of BTC doesn't affect my own opinion--nor did it diminish anyone's interest in it, apparently.

Screw Robinhood, by the way.  I get that they're regulated, but they offer some seriously shitty customer service.

Disputes between shareholders and crypto holders cannot just be avoided, Elon knows what he has to do, a few hours ago he tweeted as if he was preparing something to silence Robinhood.

and every time he tweets, it's as if he has a code for his followers

Yes, I noticed that too. He doesn't seem to want to be taken for a fool by Vlad right from the start like he had been treating all his customers on Robinhood for the GME stopping trading by requests of those hedge fund marketeers.
Also not known but the lady from the white house(her name has slipped my mind but it was on another youtube video, I will find it later and post it on here) who was in favor of the hedge fund received millions back.
Here are some more fallout from these hedge fund managers and how reddit is the focus from these stonk detractors.
Sort of getting interesting as it shows just how the stock market is comparative to the alt coin market has operated since it's inception.

I was simply amazed about how easy was for Elon Musk to never allow any of the fake talk of the Robinhood CEO to go unnoticed. At the start of the conversation he began explaining and pitching Robinhood App! Nobody asked! 
The poor guy reminded me Mark Zuckerberg early versions were he was not even able to relate with his interviewers. Elon, on the other hand, is totally from another planet.

After last week's interview with Elon Musk confronting Robinhood owner Vlad Tenev over freezing stocks on clubhouse it caused alot of distain for the financial platform among stock holders who were using it to even have holdings in cryptocurrenies such as Doge.
The interview was even more controversial with Elon saying he supported Bitcoin with the recent adding of the hashtag BTC on his official twitter account. But it did not rise the price of bitcoin as most would of hoped but coincidentally caused it to fall after almost immediately during and after the conference call on clubhouse. There are numerous charts from different youtube influencer channels showing this while they were liverstreaming so there is no denying what the tesla owner has to say does not "move the markets" as he had put it at the very beginning of this hour and half session.
Here the interview which best described what happened on this day last Thursday right after the gamestop debacle on Robinhood where they screwed over their customerbase:

Here is the full version of the initial interview done last week which the above post interview was about (1hr 35mins ):

What are your thoughts about Elon's stance on not officially saying what everyone in the cryptospace wanted to hear?
Essentially stating he would put in his tesla made money into purchasing a spaceship load of bitcoin.
Also your reaction on the post interview he did yesterday with whom he called Vlad the impaler of stocks.
