Put me in my place if this is nonsense but doesn’t it make way more sense if the astroturfing is done by WSB goons? I just don’t see corporate entities coordinating this kind of thing
Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.

Israel’s hasbara apparatus,
GCHQ leaked documents on infiltrating and derailing socialist discussions,
Church Committee Hearings,
“The Cultural Cold War” by Frances Stonor Saunders.

The top hits for my “WSB” search are:
World Sports Betting
r/WallStreetBets
World Superbikes

Sorry I thought this was more common, it’s definitely wall Street bets

Astroturfing is definitely a thing that exists but what evidence is there that palantir the company is spending resources that way?
Most companies have marketing and PR departments, not GCHQ and IDF veterans
