They're not scared enough yet.

They should be exactly as scared as they want their lowest paid employees to be.

If this could be done with fear, we wouldn't be in this mess

it can be done with fear, whether that is the best approach I do not know, the problem is that they have little to be afraid of noticing the meek population

not even a hint of a mention of the race to ipo so they can cash out before it all implodes.

I feel kinda bad for the suckers that actually buy in.

It’s going to be mayhem for all the diehard tech fans that believe this is the future and invest money they don’t have, thinking they are going to get rich.

Smells like the alt coin or NFT crap all over again.

SpaceX has convinced NASDAQ to waive the requirements for being included in the index, which means most index funds will be required to buy in. Musk is effectively looting everyone's retirement fund, keeping what he can, and setting fire to the rest.

I'd say that's a sign of panic too, though.
