There's a mission exactly like this in GTA V, you kill the LifeInvader CEO and watch the stock market go brrrrr

"A number 9, a gun, and some Tesla stocks, no ketchup. Please and thank you."

It didn’t, the stock is down 30% this week, OP just cropped a completely bullshit and misleading time window.

You know people keep saying this event is unifying everyone, didn’t realize it could mean the rich as well.

Well, explaining the noise is a game that can be played here too...

Everybody seems intent on doing it, why not us?
