Conspiracy talk time.

This might sound like tin foil hat stuff, but i really see this as the most plausible explanation for the X "hack" - it was done to test whether there was going to be a sell the news dump or a buy the news pump so that people could place huge long or short positions on a fairly solid bet.

Now that sounds logical to me imo, but heres the conspiracy part, people from the government ordered Gensler or someone to do it, or Gensler himself did it, knowing the SEC will "investigate itself" and find themselves innocent.
