**Friday’s most talked-about stocks on social media platform Stocktwits were driven by a mix of meme-stock hype, potential deregulation under a second Trump administration, and the election’s impact on EV giant Tesla.**
**GameStop (GME)**, the original meme stock, topped the list on heavy trading volume. The stock has steadily risen since Keith Gill, the infamous “Roaring Kitty,” sold his Chewy (CHWY) shares in October.
**SoFi Technologies (SOFI)** surged 17% this week, fueled by investor optimism regarding deregulation under a potential second Trump presidency. The stock closed the day over 9% higher.

**Cassava Sciences (SAVA)**, a frequent Stocktwits trend, received a Buy rating and a $116 price target from analyst Vernon Bernardino of HC Wainwright & Co., boosting the stock.
**Anavex Life Sciences (AVXL)**, another heavily shorted biotech stock, experienced a surge in trading volume despite lacking news. With 21.78% of shares sold short, the stock closed the day 21% higher.
