people owning Twitter stocks

some non rich dickheads and actually good people

I don't believe you.

A Twitter stock was $34 in early 2022 and got bought by musk for $53.70 in late 2022.

You could have made $20 with a $34 investment. There were certainly some good people who invested maybe $340 and made $200.

Ah, you're talking about gamblers who threw a few bucks on the ponies. Sure. Plenty of them were probably fine.

But talk to me about someone who made more than six figures off Twitter stock price arbitrage.

What on earth makes you think anyone here has any details on people making "six figures"?

That is a paltry sum that the mob give zero shits about.

To some, it seems like an incredible amount of money. To others it is several orders of magnitude too low to even consider.

Don't worry about the people making 6 figures. Worry about the people making 9.
