That’s the gimmick…. They’re worth billions “in theory” based on the last known price times the number of shares available.
…… but it’s only actually worth what someone will pay for it……
So the second they go to sell, they’ll find out that the “last sale price” was wildly inflated.
Sometimes they take small handfuls and sell it to “themselves “ to try and make it look like the stock is moving and selling for higher than it’s actually worth.
This is the difference between “on paper” and “liquidity”
All this nonsense has no basis in actual production and does nothing to actually benefit society, why is this the metric by which they control the world.

Elon sold billions in TSLA to buy Twitter though. It’s not liquid but it’s real enough.
It’s real once he sold it, until then it’s really not.
I mean… Yeah. This is “technically correct”. But would you say “no” to 1,000,000 options in TSLA?
I’d say no to 1mil options of this stupid social network regardless of what they “seem” to be worth
Sure you would. 👌
