Is GameStop really gonna buy eBay?
Description
GameStop just did something insane.
A $12 billion company made an unsolicited bid to buy eBay for $56 billion.
No call.
No warning.
Straight to a public offer.
In this episode, we break down:
- What a hostile takeover actually is (and why this qualifies)
- The financing problem nobody can ignore
- Why the market is basically saying “yeah… probably not happening”
- And the real play here — because this might not be about buying eBay at all
This is one of those deals where the numbers don’t make sense…
…but the strategy might.
Sometimes the smallest fish in the room doesn’t need to win.
It just needs everyone to notice it tried.
