For some Reddit users, GameStop's dizzying rocket ride on Wall Street is a case of the masses rebelling against one-percenters hoarding the world's wealth.

The social media-fueled movement has sent shares in the US video game retail chain soaring from less than US$20 (RM81) weeks ago to a peak of US$492 (RM1,994) on Thursday, dearly costing hedge funds that bet GameStop stock would tank.
