I'm not going to argue on new accounts opening to specifically buy (via day trading) and who simply shifted risk by liquidating assets into buying into this stock... what I will say is that I completely agree with you that it isn't some "little guy beating the giant" story (which it's being shaped into trying to be) and it's simply rich people manipulating the short in order to become those in which they pretend to hate. Again, I competely agree with that. If these "moral superiors" have any credibility they'd dump the stock and give 100% to charities...but we all know they won't. They'll have more money now to pretend to hate the system they participate in.
