After many days of unpredictability on Twitter, people easily dropped the stock of the pharmaceutical corporation Eli Lilly with a single message, demonstrating to the new CEO Elon Musk the power of a million furious shitposters.

The tweet from a bogus Eli Lilly account that had acquired a blue verification check mark utilising Musk's new Twitter Blue membership option said, "We are happy to announce insulin is free now." Since then, the account has been private and lost its blue checkmark.

The stock of the insulin manufacturer dropped by 4.5 percent during the course of a few hours, and it was forced to clarify the situation on its official Twitter account, @LillyPad.
