Nokia shares traded 16.6% lower at $5.46., and AMC traded 16.5% lower at $16.61.

Why It Matters: The drop follows similar price movements seen in the after-hours session on Wednesday as WallStreetBets briefly disappeared from Reddit and was taken down by Discord.

Several prominent personalities including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, “Shark Tank” host Mark Cuban, and Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc (NYSE: SPCE) Chairman Chamath Palihapitiya spoke in favor of the Reddit community.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Point72 had suffered a 15% loss this year over the GME short squeeze. Melvin Capital and Citron Research said earlier in the day that they had closed their short positions on GME.
