If there were to be open and transparent government intervention, I would guess it would take the form of "this stock price is greatly separated from its company's value. Because of some flaws with trading algorithms, it was inflated to a number that wouldn't have been reached without blah blah blah and retail investors participating in market manipulation. Due to the effect on the broader markets, it has been determined that fair value for GME shares is $89 per share and all shares are to be sold to Citadel effective immediately, and trades of gamestop shares are to be halted for 4 months while we spend millions trying to prove the company engaged in this manipulation and bankrupt it so that the shorts are off the hook"
