You understand that the gamestop stock would then be owning ebay, thus be worth Ebay + Gamestops Valuation?

Alright, my company MEME offers to buy Apple then for $1 plus 100% of MEME's stock, which is worth more than Apple then since it will own Apple.

If you word it like this it's just a hostile proposed change of leadership. Weird way to apply to become CEO of eBay, but sure.

You can do that.

The shareholders have to vote for it, though.

They would also be owning a company that now would have +20B in debt.

They now own ebay. They would include in that math 20B in debt plus Gamestop.

This sounds like a pretty bad deal for ebay investors.
