There was also a twitter thread by an economicist who is now part of the Trump admin talking about the tarrifs and the games he's playing with them from about 50-100 pages back, which I don't have handy, and I think it talked about this too.
In short, the stock market is fake and gay and tying it to our general economy was a huge fucking mistake. The ... M2? number shows there's MASSIVE stock fraud going on (they claim to have more money than the rest of the Earth combined in the market or somesuch bullshit) and remember, the GameStop thing revealed they were literally counterfeiting stock on an industrial scale as a matter of course. It's why they had such a huge freakout as to literally prevent people from accessing the stock market and having Google/Apple disable new downloads of any stock trading apps while they slowly unwound the damage. It came within a few minutes of causing a complete crash.
It might not be 100% fake, rather, it's a bit like crypto, polymarket and GDP
A contact of mine has a few recounts from it, in short:
99% of the "money" is actually theorical, because the traders were so fucking frantic and running the clock that even the speed of light can't keep up with them, where comapnies run through all their trade stuff through miles of fiber optic just to buy time as it propagates through;
They have long since figured out instant trading that the present isn't enough and they buy future stocks, options and plans. Most of those subhumans' work is spent towards buying or making new future concepts for other traders to buy.
They invented their own version of polymarket a decade back, they have an equally ridiculous accuracy at predicting the future but nobody actually used it for anything because to even see those figures you need to be such a fucking subhuman trader freak that all that goes in your mind is
"gee i wonder how many billions i can trade it for" and not
"wow i could do some crazy shit irl if i used those predictions for personal ends".
The ridiculous amounts of money is just potential money, where Mr A. makes
*jimbotron executive solutions 5000* which apparently gives an edge for trading so everyone buys some of it, but the price doesn't depreciate because everything goes so fast people forget/don't think about it, so if a single unit of it is 5 million, the maker sells 10k of those and thus has 50 billion.
BUT: everyone's money was
*Potential* money, earned from another scheme, which itself is based off some theorical loan based on future happenings.
Thus, the 50B are technically had but based on jackshit. Then the person uses it to spend it on someone else's made up bs.
It's all some weird ouroboros pyramid scheme where the top of the pyramid also touches its bottom because the ones at the top are the most addicted and spend all their money on newbie shit hoping to find something new to scratch that itch.
The parallel with GDP is that they all revendicate trading billions willy nilly if not trillions, by using theorical money they don't have for something that makes even more nonexistent theorical money to spend it on more things making "potential" theorical money.
They don't have to use real money because of how the trade system works, where it's been accelerated so much that having money is less important than theorically having it, by the time the seller has to cash out.
(They never do in any meaningful way and even if they do, that money isn't theirs theorically since if someone else cashes out, you have to provide it aswell, and when you theorically are under the looming threat of everyone cashing out, you'd owe them billions if not trillions. So the only way to safely cash out is to never buy anything you don't have hard cash for, and sell more than you can actually buy by a lot)
