Well if any here on TMC are skeptics with regards to market manipulations of stocks then check out this video.
I guess this is one of the main reasons for starting this thread.
With forces like these arrayed against them Elon and Tesla need all of us helping them.
I think this video paints the picture amazingly about the entire shorting game:
“Cramer Manipulations “
First 90 seconds transcript:

Welcome to Wall Street Confidential. I'm Aaron task joining in by Jim Cramer. Jim, welcome.
Good to see you.
Thanks for being here. Uh economic data today, but I want to talk about something else first again today we have the misdirection from the futures. The futures Pro you can up marketing as of right now softer down again. Is this just because it's the holiday period that we're seeing this?
You know, a lot of times, when I was short at my hedge fund and I was positioned short; meaning I needed it damn up; I would create a level of activity beforehand that could drive the futures. It doesn't take much money.
Similarly, if or if I were long, and I would want to make things a little bit rosy, I would go in and take a bunch of stocks and make sure that they are there higher.
You know maybe commit five million in capital do it and I could affect it. What you're seeing now is maybe it probably is bigger market now. Maybe any ten million capital and knock the stuff down, but it's a fun game and it's a lucrative game. And you you can move it up and then fade it that's all often creates a very negative feel.
So let's say you take a longer-term view into your day. And you say: Listen I'm going to boost the futures and then when the real sellers come in, real market comes in they're going to knock it down.
That's going to create a negative, eh... negative view.
that's strategy very worth doing. When you're val... when you're valued on a day-to-day basis.
And I would encourage anyone who's in the hedge fund ind... to do it because it's legal.
Right.
And it uh, it is a very quick way to make money. And very satisfying.
Okay well
By the way no one else in the world would ever admit that but I don't care.
That's right. And you can say that here.
'...I came??' I'm not gonna say it on TV.
