Do you think Elon is manipulating the market?

[$crypto$]

That's interesting to see people don't care about Elon Mask and his tweets, anymore. He did write a tweet about dogecoin a few days ago and nothing happened, the price didn't rise or fall at all. He was definitely try to manipulate the price and get advantage from it. That's who some people get rich and other lose their money. However, all these manipulation can effect the market only in short term and they effect the long term holders at all.

Know that if we continue to follow in the footsteps he might be trapped, especially a bitcoin holder and doge, he already knows what the plan is behind his profits, of course those who feel they will lose when there is market manipulation, but it's true that it is only temporary and if people are strong in this he will come out of his trap.
I have no interest at all after destroying the market sometimes now even though I have observed that it remains unstable in bitcoin later which can affect all of it so I will go and never see Elon Musk's tweet.
But still, the market will be influenced by him.

Doesn't matter anymore if he is manipulating the market or not but in any way possible, let us all just disregard what he is doing and stop talking about it. His scheme is very obvious, he is just trying to break the balance of the market for his own sake. His tweets should not mean anything for us anymore neither his opinions when it comes to crypto. Bitcoin will soon recover from what he has done so let us just quit bothering about the things he is saying. Let us focus on our investment and keep on analyzing what is the next best thing to do considering the market's current condition.

Elon, in my opinion, is truly manipulating the market by issuing a statement on his Twitter account that is very influential to the majority of people in the crypto scene without DYOR even his people that are engineers can't assess the reality of bitcoin mining! He stated that BTC isn't good for the environment and having a huge power consumption but many of the experts have already debunked his statement.

Elon spouts off on all types of things on twitter, there's really no evidence he's trying to manipulate the market. It's more likely he just craves constant attention and constantly opining on crypto is the easiest way to stay in the limelight and command the constant attention that he seeks.  Many of the "experts" have not debunked his power consumption claims, just bitcoin maximalists who pump bitcoin no matter what.  Independently minded folks generally agree that Bitcoin's power demands are woefully inefficient on a per transaction basis.

I believe that Elon Musk is manipulating the market and his messages and statements clearly contribute to both the growth and the fall in the prices of crypto assets. It is very simple to determine this, if Elon Musk's statement came out and after that there is a large movement in the prices of crypto assets, then this is a real influence, which can be regarded as manipulation with a goal or simply to bring down prices to buy cryptocurrency at low prices or for the sake of another cryptocurrency. In any case, such statements have a real impact and this is very bad in general for the entire crypto industry.

[BIT-BENDER]

The market will still be controlled by the likes of Elon musk, if those who invest in crypto-currency do it because of the super glued attraction to the like of Elon musk's tweets.
Elon musk might be calling some boss level shots, but I don't think he is doing it for fun, or to express to crypto-currency atmosphere the power of his tweets, I think he aims at capitalizing on this power, don't know but maybe he would want to have his crypto-coin, billionaires are observablely obsessed types, and I think crypto-currency May just be like wall Street, once they start coming over in.

right, the crypto market is synonymous with whales, and ellon is one of them. with his statement accepting crypto and finally releasing crypto, made market sentiment move and he was already profiting from crypto. but I think it will recover by itself, so I think investors need not worry

[kryptqnick]

Did Musk contribute to the fall of the price? Of course he did. However, China's decision wasn't a smaller factor, not to mention that correction always arrives after the bull market. Moreover, Musk was also the one who contributed to the growth of the price before, when Tesla announced accepting BTC and when they invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. So it's not like he only brought devastation. Moreover, nothing he does causes permanent damage to the market. Bitcoin will recover eventually like it always does.

Thank goodness the people are back to themselves.
I thought the virus spread by Elon will take longer but the vaccine seems to be enough to administer them.  

We've seen this already, right? Some crazy known dude tried to manipulate the market too by posting in a social media application that he will eat his own **** if it won't happen. Until now his *** is still there or maybe he just can't reach it.
We should avoid this kind of scene and better support those who are really making a change for everyone and not just for themselves.

In my personal view he really does everything for the sake of making a profit,
and I guess that's why so many people hate Elon Musk,
related to that I agree the market will definitely recover but I don't know when for sure so it's better to stay calm

I'm a capitalist, I love people who do things for a profit, including Elon Musk.  So I can personally advocate for this not to be the case.  The reason I hate Elon is he's a narcissist, troll, and petty public figure who started spreading Covid denialism when he was unhappy about not being able to make his cars without Covid protections for workers.  He's unhinged, as evidenced by his picking a fight with a British journalist and calling him a pedo on Twitter, which has led to a lawsuit that I hope gets him hit with a mutli-million dollar judgement for slander.

But as far as him making profits in the companies he runs, I'm all for it.

The more of you there will be, the lesser manipulation power he will have. There are tons of people who traded because he tweets and now they are feeling betrayed, he said good things about doge all the time and he said tesla bought bitcoin and accepts bitcoin so the price of bitcoin went up thanks to him, all the people that got in because of him also made a profit if they sold so those ones could like him.

However there are tons of people who lost tons of money because he started to talk shit about crypto and said bad things about bitcoin, surely this whole fall is not because of him but the start of him was all because of him and that is why people may end up not caring about him at all and not support him. All of these are the reasons he may lose power of manipulation, he will probably not have anything remotely close to what he used to have in power.

People believe so much on Elon musk. People does not research for their own what is going on or what's are coming up to?Thought that Elon musk tweeted so that It's going to be the time market will be  down Now for crypto currency.Big people make big Plan what's with upto  him already he knows better.But He will be come with new breakthrough in my opinion he will launch new Token and making new idea to come throughout the crypto currency.Everyone should have to research themself not anyone tweet and making quick judge or decision this is kind of a foolish attitude I think.

[Karartma1]

However, all these manipulation can effect the market only in short term and they effect the long term holders at all.

Good you mentioned that because that's always something to keep in mind. This short term manipulation will not have any effects if we take into consideration the big picture we all foresee happening in the long run.
In a way it wasn't even bad to have this slowdown because there were people starting to investing in crazy horseshit and believing they could become rich with that.
Keep accumulating bitcoin and don't worry 

[iv4n]

People don't care anymore about Elon's tweet. He came to be a person who hasn't respect by people. And now, whatever he said just ignored it.

Maybe tomorrow he will come to bring his new coin as McAfee did, that is a fact to be true if he still on that tweet.

I guess we need to add "some" at the start of the first sentence! Some people don't care anymore! But I guess there are at least a few million people who care and follow everything he says and does!

I think that he is manipulating the market, and with his bankroll, he can do that! But as Blue said, he became a person who can't be trusted! Today he will say one thing, tomorrow he will do something completely different!

[AniviaBtc]

Ever since he hyped dogecoin, he is already manipulating the market and make people invest on it and make its price higher.

Many other big companies or personalities are also contributing to the market fluctuations and it is really sad for us.

What can we do about that? We are just a small investor who are just going with the flow.

[poodle63]

He is, spreading fud when the market is above $55K and then change his opinion and start shilling for bitcoin when the price is below $35K if that's not manipulation then I wonder.
But, the source of his strength to manipulate the market is simply coming from the hype generated by his tweet because he has massive follower that always follow him.
Since people sees that he doesn't bring any good to the followers then he more likely can't manipulate the market further, and bitcoin maybe will become more resilient from
such manipulation. Though we can't deny that his company tesla own $1,5B and that could more or less affect the market as well because many people also follow
tesla move on whether buying or dumping bitcoin, it could trigger domino effects.

Dump will really going to happen due to the high price of crypto being too much, its just that the FUD became more fast as well spread into many because of his influence and everytime he do some posts. It's not really all about him but let's be honest that he gave really an impact in the market. We will see if he post some positive post again if there are still many who will follow him for some hype.

It's true that everything started with Dogecoin, how Elon Musk made Dogecoin go up so high that even Dogecoin made it into the top 10 cryptos.
After that Elon Musk tried to influence his followers to invest in Bitcoin, even Elon Musk showed Tesla investing in Bitcoin. With all these things,
finally Elon Musk was able to influence many people to invest in Dogecoin and Bitcoin. What was surprising that after the news of Tesla taking profit,
then not long after that Elon Musk started spreading FUD,  finally creating a crypto market dump. It is very annoying that this is what Elon Musk did,
he really looks like he only cares about himself, by making many people suffer losses with all the manipulations he did. Now, what we need to do is
ignore whatever Elon Musk says, so that we are not influenced the manipulation by Elon Musk.

[Peanutswar]

As we know Elon musk is one of the top tier millionaires at the same time having a lot of supports so as we except there are a lot of people thinking that one word or post of Elon can make a change to their lives and one of these kind of manipulation happens recently on the coin meme which is the dogecoin there are a lot of people stuck their investment because of having a mistake trusting him. This is the reason why it's better to become an independent person and stop follow others' paths or predictions instead create your own so we do not keep blaming other people.

[bengsabeng]

I think Elon is manipulation our attention. He is Twitter influencer, not a crypto expert.

It is true. he has the expertise to manipulate our minds (perhaps more precisely his followers) with just a few posts on twitter. in the crypto world don't trust anyone easily and don't easily believe any news!
