Chamath Palihapitiya, CEO of Social Capital, was on Scott Wapner's Fast Money: Halftime Report on CNBC to defend Robinhood and Redditor's buying up of Gamestop stock and spoiling the plans of market-manipulating hedge fund short sellers.

It's only when non-one-percenters do it (and when it hurts the one-percenters) that it suddenly becomes a catastrophe that must be stopped.
