I love when I respond to a point that someone says and they come back the next day making the same exact point, responding to nothing. I'll just add briefly about the comment at 2:20, you are misrepresenting what she said. She is not saying that the people on Reddit are hedge funds (although there is likely some degree of astroturf involved here as well), she is saying that Wall St is also participating in buying because...I mean, of course they are. |

Some more info on that topic.

Biden's Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen received more than $800,000 in speaking fees from hedge fund Citadel in the last year alone. Citadel is invested heavily in Melvin Capital (the hedge fund that did the short selling). More than 35% of the Robinhood's revenues flow came from Citadel. It's a big club.
