Twitter at the moment is entertainment on an unparalleled level.

I went to bed to this:

Starting a new investment fund that takes short positions in public companies, pays for Twitter verification checkmarks on spoof accounts and hires the best shit-posters on the site to troll them into losing billions in market cap. Who's in? #WallStreeBets2022 pic.twitter.com/wfx7TwtEAD

Just sit back and enjoy! Billionaires having to lie in the bed they made is prime entertainment.
