How the Credibility Score is calculated →

Wall Street Apes is an anonymously run X account that grew out of the meme-stock "apes" movement before pivoting heavily toward right-leaning political commentary. The name ties to the broader "WallStreetBets" meme culture, where retail investors styled themselves as "apes" during the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, and the account engages in discussions about financial markets and similar movements. It is known for posting viral clips and commentary on government corruption, political insider trading, immigration, and related topics to an audience of over 1.3 million followers, though some posts have drawn fact-checks.

Common questions

Is Wall Street Apes left or right?
Wall Street Apes is an anonymously run X account that emerged from the AMC/GameStop meme-stock movement — its bio still references the "apes vs. short sellers" fight — and evolved into a high-volume aggregator of right-leaning viral video and "unfiltered breaking news." Its content is firmly MAGA-aligned: amplifying claims of paid anti-Musk/DOGE protesters, criticizing Democratic politicians' wealth, and promoting immigration-enforcement narratives, and it advertises follows from Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and Dan Bongino. The through-line from its meme-stock origins is anti-establishment populism — distrust of Wall Street, legacy media, and political elites — now channeled into pro-Trump commentary, with occasional criticism of the administration from the base's perspective. In August 2025, California Governor Newsom's press office publicly sparred with it as a "MAGA troll account," a marker of its prominence in the right-wing X ecosystem. Because the operator is anonymous, nothing is verifiable about the person behind it beyond the account's own output.
