What are your thoughts? Do you think Elon Musk is manipulating the crypto market? If not, why? Will crypto carry on as usual without Mr. Musk in play? Or is it too late? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

He is manipulating, people will manipulate on something they can cast their influence and Elon Musk is a man with a huge influence in the investment industry who can cast influence when it comes to investment and technology, he first tried it on Dogecoin and he succeeded and now that he and we all know that he can do it, he will do it again, it's up to people to realize this scenario.
it may or may not be true, I think some people are taking advantage of this situation to follow Elon's words to cause an exaggerated reaction than usual, like if Elon says good news then they make it look like it happened and vice versa
I'm not sure 1 person can control the whole market completely.
