If the merger is successful, it’s gonna go to the first layer of the atmosphere. Then I can buy more Gamestop to head to the moon faster.

I can’t wait to see Bezos deplatformed, hopefully right out of space.

I wonder if they sold at 10 or $14 a share, and I wonder if they have any regrets now that it’s at $100 and higher.
