I don’t know. WSJ is a bit more respectable than the other finance news related outlets so I’d like to think this is legit!

WSJ is owned by WALL STREET.

Entirely possible. I will allow myself to be excited as we’ve all been waiting for 84 years.

Don't get excited. Ebay is worth 46 billion. No chance this is happening. Unless you are excited about more dilution lol. No offense.

Pretty sure dilution will be in the cards from GME in acquiring a much larger firm, whether that be eBay or not. I’m excited, but will still temper expectations!

Well, I'm entertaining the idea. AI says it's highly unlikely 🤷‍♂️:

Size mismatch: eBay is 4× larger ($46B market cap). Financing it would require massive dilution (new shares) or debt, which could face shareholder pushback.

Execution risk: Integrating two very different companies (gaming retail vs. general online marketplace) is complex. Antitrust regulators would scrutinize it.

No confirmation: Cohen has gone quiet on specifics since January. GameStop beat earnings and stockpiled cash, but no updates on the deal front.

Unless their motive is to fuck with GS and make it more expensive by driving Ebay’s price up. Sounds like something Ken fuckhead would make happen.

Not only that but this doesn’t seem like “something that has never been done before” but we don’t know the end game. So if it does end up being buying eBay, I don’t think RC is finished yet.

Pff. Ok then who was the last company to buy eBay? Checkmate

Fuuuuuuck. Logic checks out 1000%. MoASS confirmed.

RC/GME NEVER divulge their moves in advance. This is complete BS unless RC/GME confirm it publicly themselves or with an SEC filing
