> I believe it when I see it. Isn't the majority of shares hold by the heavy pros anyway? I doubt the other Hedgefonds and Yolon Musks will sacrifice shit.

They don't need to. It's mathematically impossible for shorts to cover, because they've shorted more than the entire float.

> Imagine a hypothetical scenario where Dorsey threatens a president to say or not say something under penalty of deplatforming.

The threat would be a criminal offense.

New comment by omarchowdhury in "1000 Years Before Darwin, Islamic Scholars Were Writing About Natural Selection"

Human and pigs have a common creator according to the Islamic view. Even via observation, we can see that humans and pigs are similar in that they both need to eat, breathe, sleep, excrete. Both have eyes, lungs, hearts, brains... Is there a loss of dignity or some sort of implied conflation because of shared properties?

What's your intention behind this question?
