Google also has a stake in xAI... so they are financing themselves too

Yep, and they pay them like 900 mil per mo for it, pretty crazy from the company that first brought TPUs to market

There really should be a domain authority check so people can't randomly submit HN news links to spammy websites.

Do you understand that these shares are not awarded, though? He has to BUY them, so if they are worthless, his comp will be too.

What about the company's profitability? Did that continue to decline as well?

Super interesting how so many people on HN seem to have a more negative sentiment towards GameStop and its CEO than Amazon.

Unexpectedly, a lot of this negative sentiment seems to be rooted in thin media coverage, a la Jim Cramer.

Headline-driven market is a thing, not sure why meme stock investors are part of this? How are they connected to this news?

Also, what's a meme stock? How would you define that?

...because you decided so?

Ryan Cohen rarely does interviews & Lauren Thomas is one of the few journalists he agreed to speak to, they had an interview earlier this year - https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/gamestop-ceo-plans-e8440c...

If you check eBay & GME's stock prices after the announcement, the market seems to think there are at least serious discussions here if not more.
