@PiecingBabyFaceTogether it could have pretty bad consequences too, but destroying the hot air that is the stock market which only makes rich people richer is quite nice.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether a fake announcement that this company was going to give insulin away for free made their stock value drop drastically, causing stock owners to lose billions together.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether it's not ethical, but thousands of people predicted it to happen and Elon still went ahead. It is estimated that Twitter's value dropped from 44 billion to just 8 billion mainly because of this. That guy should not be in charge of any business.
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether good question... I don't think there are any good guys at the moment. The ones who created and kept up the old system sucked. The ones who are breaking that down are making progress, but in the wrong direction if it's left there. The next step is creating a better system in its place, but someone still has to step up to do that.
