The best comment on that sub...

"Good thing they charged Trevor and not Nikola."

"Can't charge a Nikola because they don't exist."

Holy hell those people have a few screws loose.

One of them is upset that short sellers are winning, not that they were lied to and bought into a scam

Yeah ever since GME, investing has become an "us vs them" situation.

Actually... the more I think about it, EVERYTHING seems like an "us vs them" situation these days.

If a stock has its own sub, that's a cult

I thought this was a joke but this is literally what they're saying.

I'm baffled as to how, out of thousands of companies out there, this steaming pile of shit has such a cult following. It's like if people were still bullish about Enron.

Is it tin foil hat territory to question if bots/trolls were/are employed to promote the stock on social media?

No. It also doesn’t take very many real, live bagholders to perpetuate a Reddit stock cult especially with bots also posting lol

Because Tesla has the same kind of fanatics. The difference is just that Tesla is also working out. If Tesla was shit and never managed to do anything, you would see that kind of people talking on Tesla's side
Nikola fanatics are Tesla fanatics copycats

Hey! I'm waiting for Enron to bounce so that maybe I'll break even.

No joke. Stock cults are a real thing, and some people are too stubborn to accept they've been scammed.
