Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it maple cocaine (@maplecocaine) January 3, 2019
Every day somebody says or does something that earns them the scorn of the internet. Here at Digg, as part of our mission to curate what the internet is talking about right now, we rounded up the main characters on Twitter from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.
This week s characters include a former CNN host who made a disrespectful and narcissistic tribute to Larry King, a woman whose question to the internet has us worried about the future, an NYU professor who blames the GameStop stock frenzy on horny single men and the investment app that seemingly betrayed its own namesake.
An army of amateur traders loosely organizing on Reddit have shaken up all preconceived notions about the stock market as they fueled the meteoric rise of GameStop stock.
Shares for GameStop, the electronics retailer that has largely struggled in recent years, have skyrocketed by nearly 2,000% since the beginning of the year. Shares were trading at around $350 on Wednesday, compared to less than $18 a share earlier this month essentially creating billions of dollars in value for shareholders.
On Wednesday alone, the hot stock jumped by more than 100% after Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk further fanned the flames on Twitter after markets closed Tuesday.
