>Someone paid $8 for Twitter blue and wiped out $15 billion in market cap from a big pharmaceutical company The person who made the post that they reference did not wipe out anything - they merely said a few words. Everyone who panicked based on the words of some random person without doing a hint of research into the statement and who should already have had the "real" Eli Lilly bookmarked/followed/whatever and sold all of their stocks "wiped out" the value.
