Today House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the Biden administration will likely look into the story involving hedge funds, GameStop and Robinhood (whether they’ll do so with or without the Treasury Secretary remains to be seen). Pelosi also said Congress might have a role in all this:
Pelosi's reaction to the drama around GameStop stock: "Interesting, isn't it?"

Pelosi on Gamestop: "It is interesting, isn't it? I understand that the administration is taking a look, and the S.E.C. is taking a look at what that is. But we all will be reviewing it. But interesting. It is interesting, yeah."

Others would first like a closer look taken at a different stock purchase:
So Nancy Pelosi buys $1M in stock options (!) in Tesla a few days before Joe Biden announces government vehicles will all be electric (not sure how that's legal).
Meanwhile, you're not allowed to buy stock in GME or AMC on Robinhood.

Good thing Pelosi is "looking at" scrutiny into GameStop when she herself has a bunch of Tesla calls before Biden's EV push.https://t.co/BOjZBXcfXl

Interesting timing has been spotted:
I would like to know how a mom can’t buy GameStop but Nancy Pelosi can buy $1 million worth of Tesla right before a federal agency announces they will only be using electric cars from now on give me a break pic.twitter.com/47aorbvDy8

@SpeakerPelosi you purchased 1 million in Tesla stock as Biden pledged go with electric vehicles? Go on investigate GameStop

Nancy Pelosi can make money on Tesla which she bought knowing that Biden was going to mandate electric cars but you peasants, how dare you make money from GameStop.

When you have the hearings on GameStop, perhaps you should also ask Speaker Pelosi why – and when exactly – she bought $1 million worth of Tesla calls last month.

These two stories do make for quite the shot and chaser:
President Joe Biden on Monday vowed to replace the U.S. government's fleet of roughly 650,000 vehicles with electric models as the new administration shifts its focus toward clean-energy. https://t.co/nYA6jmBRFd
