It all started on Monday when an X user called “aleabitoreddit” published a post with a “Fun Trade Idea,” laying out an argument for why AI agents like OpenClaw could drive demand for the cheap, simple computers made by Raspberry Pi Holdings Plc. That kicked off a social media frenzy, sending the stock soaring as more retail traders jumped into action.
