Elon messed with the cryptocurrency market a lot during that period. Except for the pump of Bitcoin he caused, he also caused a lot of fuss with Dogecoin, which exploded right after his tweets. If he was messing with stocks, he would have been prosecuted now, but cryptos are unregulated, and he's free to do as he pleases. Although his tweets don't have the same manipulation power anymore.
You missed the part with Elon Musk as he manipulated the stock market and caused rapid shifts in the market and once that became a regular thing for Elon, he was charged by SEC for his tweets that had a huge impact on the stock market and then he shifted his focus on the cryptocurrency market where he was successful in causing huge rallies in Doge even the developers did not anticipate
.
That's interesting; I had no clue that he had actually manipulated the stock market. That explains why he proceeded to manipulate cryptocurrencies. Since he was already charged once, he couldn't risk repeating the same mistake and thought it'd be fun to mess with Bitcoin and especially with Dogecoin, which was the absolute troll. Unfortunately, many people followed him and potentially lost money, while others may praise him because it was an opportunity that some took advantage of. Even after it dumped, he continued making dumb jokes regarding Doge, such as the potential addition of Dogecoin to purchase a Tesla. I can't remember if he actually implemented it and then revoked it, but he's an absolute internet troll.
