You can't fix stupid. Stock pump and dumpers have been at it for decades, long before social media even existed. We even have them on USMB occasionally. Caveat Emptor.

People who gamble on heavily watered stocks are pretty much demanding to be swindled and robbed, which is why Social Security came along. Beware of idiots and the embezzlers who want to 'privatize' it and 'invest' it in the Big Casino.

Natural Selection and The Bell Curve deny that. There is a Sucker born every minute. Stupid Humans are the only animals who can be skinned more than once. It is very easy to separate a fool from his money. These old sayings are still true today.

Pump n Dump scammers have been pretty rampant on Twitter for several years now.
Not super confident Musk will be on this, as he himself has done some serious pumping in the crypto markets

Meanwhile US politicians make millions off of stocks and one of the biggest winners is Nancy Pelosi.

US politicians make a fortune from trading stocks in office. It’s time they were stopped

Media reports have revealed how amazingly successful members of Congress are at investing, with a series of uncannily well-timed trades of stocks just before key legislation is passed. This crazy conflict of interest has to end.

What we need is a President that is not corrupt, not a politician and not a lawyer.
We need a President whose only focus is eliminating corruption.
That is the only was we have any possibility to change a wholly and completely corrupt Congress.
