Clover Health Investments (NASDAQ:CLOV) stock is getting a boost on Friday thanks to a couple of Tweets from Chamath Palihapitiya.
Palihapitiya is the CEO of Social Capital, chairman of Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), and owns the Golden State Warriors. To go along with that, he currently has more than 1.5 million followers on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR).
