Etsy Stocks Climb After Elon Musk Tweets He ‘Kinda’ Loves It

What Did Elon Musk Tweet About Etsy?

Mr Musk, after expressing his “love” for Etsy Inc, explained in another tweet shared that he has purchased a Marvin the Martian merchandise for his dog. From context it can be gathered that he bought the “hand knit wool (sic)” product via Etsy.
