Elon Musk Calls Out Robinhood for 'BS' Shorting Scam

After tweeting several statements about the growth of GameStop, Elon Musk (@elonmusk) is back again on the platform and this time, he brought analogies and subtle words that point against Robinhood and its policies. The CEO has called the app market now because of its unfair trading policies that prohibited retail investors from buying shares.

On the other hand, hedge funds, or liquid assets, are "freely" and able to buy, sell, and trade the said stocks as they see fit. People have been tweeting about this controversy that centered on Robinhood, with some people agreeing because it allows the "small-time" to profit and benefit from stock trading.

However, Musk is not a fan of this, saying that what Robinhood did was 'BS' and a shorting scam in terms of the so-called "rules of the trade." Elon Musk has released several tweets regarding Robinhood's stock trading that several of his fans are eager to join in the thread and express their sentiments against the app, also adding that its negative reviews are deleted in the App Store.
