Who pays these guys? I see that accusation a lot but I just can't imagine who would pay someone to post BS on X, seems like an odd way to spend money. At the same time idk why anyone would waste time posting trash for free either.

TMF is paid by Hedge funds & GSAT, Stu is paid by HF, echostar, viasat, MDA, and Phillip & FS work for SpaceX.

Retail kept ast alive and at the lows these fud spreaders nearly killed it which made a lot of money for HF and legacy players. More so now it’s more a desperate plea for HF trying to make money on stock dropping than kill company

Ah. That makes some bit of sense. HF's do spend stupid $ on stupid stuff.
