~~~The collective mass of the above posts bears just slightly enough on Tesla to remain on-site. MAKE SURE IT STAYS THAT WAY.
One way to achieve this is to answer the following question: the sum of new purchases of GME can be ascertained. To what extent could those funds, going into a stock with a market cap changing from around ~$2bn to around ~$25bn, rather having been invested instead into TSLA, with its ~$800 bn market cap, and what would thereupon have been the effect on TSLA shorts?
As a follow-up, to the extent that current investors in GME, now possessing a paper value far larger than their collective investment, were to invest in TSLA, how does that change the answer to the above question?
The reason this gendankenexperiment is of use is to demonstrate the efficacy or lack thereof of an army of minuscule investors to alter the fortunes of a large-cap company.~~~
