They are going to have a hard time justifying halting trading for discussions on open public fourms. There is nothing illegal about saying you like a stock and are going to buy it.
Someone is going to lose millions and is going to try and sue them for insider trading. This is basically Wallstreet throwing a tantrum that they are the ones getting fucked this time.
Yes, literally so. Especially since apparently Melvin has been shorting Tesla for years, alongside intentionally talking shit about it to depress the stock. This whole thing was sparked off when they tried to do the same thing to Gamestop but apparently Gamestop doesn't have enough stock or enough volume for them to do it, and 4chan/Reddit stepped in and bought up enough stock to make it impossible for them to do.
To be clear, the general consensus on 4chan and WSB seems to be not "we're gonna make a shitload of money" and more "we're going to fucking destroy Melvin Capital, maybe a few others, and send a message to Wallstreet."
