Palantir stock might've spiked yesterday b/c trading bots indexed Reddit's reaction to the Onion's "Buys Pentagon" piece
From Ben Collins of The Onion:
Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for 0 Billion†hit their front page.

They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.
