Exactly. Look at Tesla. Nobody is buying their shitty cars, but the stock is still near record levels. He's been manipulating the price this whole time. Phillip Low is on record saying he fired him with cause from one of his startups for attempting to manipulate the company's stock price. I'm pretty sure this reddit thread was pretty close to how he's doing it.
