and manipulation goes goth ways by way of the disconnect. It was and has been wildly over-priced for a very long time. It's supposed lead and profitability are by way of manipulation also. Check out how many CFO changes they've had in their short history. I wouldn't trust a Tesla financial statement period. But then again the people who double and triple this stock repeatedly are the same ones who have been running AMC and Gamestop up to riduclous levels also. Collaborative stock manipulation, whether up or down, using social media/"investor sites/platforms" etc. is just one more example of colossal failure at the SEC. Similar to the "we don't know if we can or should do anything" attitude about crypto. Gee SEC maybe you're right about sitting on the sidelines because you all were so right about a "hands off" approach to derivatives and CDOs when you told us that they weren't really a danger to the economic system and were really just like "insurance" policies on transactions/financial instruments. That worked out so well before didn't it.
