What Tesla did with bitcoin could be considered market manipulation, and that's a serious crime considered by the US government. The fact that the company invested $1.5B and make it public that bring a lot of investors to bitcoin, and after that, we see how bitcoin has a crazy jump in the prize, and now they sold the 10% when bitcoin was on its ATH.
As a reference, I will leave this link:

This cannot be evidence to accuse Tesla - Elon is manipulating the market. with 1.5 billion compared to bitcoin's current market cap of approximately 1075 billion? I don't think they are qualified to do that. Although, they are pioneers in the process of driving incentives for institutional investors around the world. Even if they had enough bonds, I thought this possibility would still be unlikely in such an easy direction.
