Jim Cramer ‘Have Fun Being Poor’ Tweet Claim On January 24 2022, CNBC's Jim Cramer tweeted have fun being poor. Rating Not True Like this fact check? Reporting On January 25 2022, screenshots of a purported tweet by CNBC’s Jim Cramer circulated on stock trading subreddits — in which he was quoted as saying Have fun being poor: I don’t need your permission for that lol I do everything whilst being poor my dude from amcstock There was no further context. On Reddit, we located five separate iterations of the Cramer Have fun being poor tweet, all published on January 25 2022. Two of the Reddit posts featured the image above, and three featured the image in a broader composition or altered format: Florida is where wokes go to die... Please enable JavaScript Florida is where wokes go to die Good morning have fun from amcstock Notably, all five of the posts involved the same exact screenshot of a tweet. It included a TweetDeck link, and the following time, date, and metrics: 9:27 AM • 1/24/22 55 Retweets | 36 Quote Tweets | 569 Likes The confrontational tone and content of the tweet were such that screenshots would likely have been taken by many different people in the event it was deleted. Typically, offensive or questionable tweets are evidenced by myriad screenshots, with variations in both timestamps (across time zones) and engagement counts — every screenshot had the same 55, 36, and 569 figures at the bottom. A search of archive.is did not indicate the tweet had been archived, which again is common practice when a potentially offensive or volatile tweet is shared by a public figure. Conversely, sometimes social media posts are deleted quickly, before anyone can archive it. We did a Google search for @jimcramer ‘Have fun being poor,' and only five results were returned. None of those results were links to cached or archived copies of the purported tweet. Three of the results were tweets from other users including the phrasing in their own tweets. One was a 2021 (not 2022) TrendsMap capture of a separate user telling Cramer to have fun staying poor. A Twitter search via the Latest tab (versus Top) again returned a small handful of results, six of which were from after the tweet was allegedly shared by Cramer. One of the six included the well-traveled purported screenshot, and accused Cramer of deleting the tweet: hAvE fUn BeInG pOoR. Pathetic that you wrote that. Even more pathetic that you deleted the tweet. pic.twitter.com/IqmrCZdcbk — Garrett Peirce (@Fuggin_YOLO) January 25, 2022 In addition to the absence of any trace of the tweet, many people commenting on active threads often seemed to consider it satirical. A subthread on a stock-trading subreddit included the following exchange about the post’s labeling (flair): Is this legit? Couldn’t find on tweeter I don’t think it is, probably why it’s flaired shitpost. Way too many comments look like they think it’s real[.] Yea nice nice. Initially I completely missed the flair which is very definitely a dead give away. In the exchange, the third comment alluded to people believing that the screenshot was real and that Cramer had really tweeted it. That claim was not implausible, as Cramer regularly taunted fans of the $GME and $AME tickers; the following four tweets were all published on January 25 2022: Jimmy Chill gives blessing to memesters to lose as much money as they can in AMC and GME and still remain friends with me. — Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) January 25, 2022 Chill notes that the marauding mobs of GME/AMCers will have one last up gasp and then its.. well Penn National and Fan Duel and Draft Kings for you! — Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) January 25, 2022 Wow, Jimmy Chill wants to be unleashed but the inner sweetness keeps me from pushing the AMCer/GMEer gents over the brink. All hail Caesars! They are all Caesars !! And that's where they will soon be headed with all of their silly emogies. — Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) January 25, 2022 Funny, i have been on that warpath with GME since $400 next week last year. AMC-they got the money to survive so who cares about the stock? Your time on the stage is almost over; you had a good one0 year run, now on to Power Ball for you.. a skill game for most of you https://t.co/bc3bn7b4tl — Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) January 25, 2022 On January 25 2022, a purported Have fun being poor tweet attributed to CNBC’s Jim Cramer circulated on Reddit and Twitter. Across five iterations, the same and likely fabricated screenshot was appended. Cramer regularly engaged in social media debate with $GME and $AMC stockholders, but the Have fun being poor tweet appeared to be a parody tweet later mistaken for a real tweet that was subsequently deleted.
