Many of the things Redditors on WallStreetBets were hoping would happen to GameStop are now happening to GameStop. In an earnings report last week, the company announced its sales were up 11 percent during the first nine weeks of 2021 compared to the same time in 2020. Its e-commerce sales nearly tripled in 2020. And now, the biggest news: Former Chewy CEO Ryan Cohen, the "tendieman" who Reddit investors have long suggested would lead the company "to the moon" is becoming GameStop’s Chairman.

WallStreetBets, predictably, has lost its collective shit over the news: "DADDY DADDY!!" one post reads. "I'm jacked to the tits," another said.
