    You don’t have to be smart to be a ceo. You have to be a sociopath and have the right connections. But for the rest? You can be as dumb as a bag of rocks.

      This man is very representative of the fans GameStop has left over from the stock price debacle 6 years back.

        You nailed it. This is what a leftover meme stock CEO looks like.

        According to Wikipedia:

        Cohen has been dubbed the “Meme King” for his influence on meme stocks such as that of GameStop.

        I would expect nothing less from a “Meme King”
