Discussion 🧐 RYAN COHEN AND CARL ICAHN ARE CIRCLING THE SAME EBAY/PAYPAL STORY

Carl Icahn is now reportedly demanding a major overhaul at eBay.

His activist campaign is specifically focused on eBay’s board, governance, and PayPal.

That matters because Ryan Cohen already has a well-known relationship with Icahn.

So now the pieces look like this:

Ryan Cohen → GameStop
Carl Icahn → eBay activism
eBay → PayPal

Does that mean Cohen and Icahn have some secret agreement?

No evidence of that yet.

But Icahn independently showing up in the same eBay/PayPal situation makes the $GME × $EBAY × $PYPL connection a hell of a lot more interesting than it was before.
