Earlier this month, shares of US medical device maker Signal Advance rocketed after Musk told his followers on Twitter to "use Signal". It turned out he was actually recommending the Signal messaging app, as an alternative to Whatsapp, but shares of Signal Advance soared 438% on the back of the tweet.
