simple_steps1 on May 3, 2026 11:18 pm That’s a wild move not gonna lie feels like a big stretch for GameStop to go after eBay at that size.
misterperfact on May 3, 2026 11:23 pm Could be a short cut for him to be eligible to get all his shares. I believe he had to make gme worth 40 billion if I’m not mistaken
TheDahkLord on May 3, 2026 11:25 pm Do the 5 banks that are leveraging this purchase with GameStop stock know about each other?
Anxious_Rock_3630 on May 3, 2026 11:25 pm I also would like to buy Ebay for $56 billion. I also don’t have any money.
JDB-667 on May 3, 2026 11:32 pm So a roughly 26% premium and they say they need a larger acquirer plus heavy debt financing. I wonder what his strategy is?
Historical-Crew6746 on May 3, 2026 11:33 pm If debt was an issue the stock market would be negative numbers …
kingofwale on May 3, 2026 11:40 pm Easy. GME will just dilute their stocks by 6x and their shareholders are too dumb to know otherwise and continue to pump….Easy way to make 60 billion
Reddituser183 on May 3, 2026 11:45 pm How is this dude still with GameStop and why has the stock not gone to the moon yet? And also how is GameStop still in business?
