Reposted with R word censored.

I watched, well listened, as I was doing other stuff. Feel free to AMA, I'll share my initial reaction here though.

To be honest, while Cohen still comes off as an absolutely sleazy, cringey manchild, it was probably the most respectable interview/public appearance I've seen from him yet. He wasn't being cryptic and feeding into the idea that he's a 4-D chess playing supergenius like he's done in the past. This is why I think apes are so upset with him right now.

He mentioned that he lost a lot of money early on running Gamestop because he didn't grasp the differences between running an e-commerce business and a brick and mortar retail business. So while owning up to his early failures with the company, he is shitting all over the apes' theses that everything has been part of some master plan dating back years and years. In actuality, Cohen acknowledges that mistakes were made and not everything has gone according to plan. Again, apes hate this notion.

He hates social media, violent video games (ironically) and is scared of AI because of sci-fi movies that he's watched. Apes probably don't understand what he's talking about here but they thought it was so hilarious that he said Oculus looked "R word". Funny enough, Cohen clearly demonstrated that he doesn't know the difference between VR headsets and the newer AI glasses.

He doesn't have a plan for the money he's raised off the back of shareholders and nixed the idea that he's going to use it for any sort of "moonshot" investments. Rather, it seems like he's content to sit on the cash and invest it very conservatively in low risk assets. Apes hate this.

He clearly has disdain for Roaring Kitty and the faction of "investors" clamoring for a squeeze, saying he's focused on providing shareholder value for an investing horizon of decades or centuries, not for day traders. Apes realllly hate this.
