Every time Elon Musk talks positively about Dogecoin on Twitter, price per coin goes all the way to the moon. The contrary happens if he talks negatively about it. Most recently, Elon Musk criticized Bitcoin's high energy consumption stating that it's harmful to the environment. This caused Bitcoin's price to plunge all the way to $42k in an instant. It's up to this point, where Bitcoin hasn't recovered back to the $57k - $58k range.
It looks like people make decisions based on someone else's opinion instead of doing their own research about it. Most people follow Elon Musk closely, so anything he says (good or bad) can directly affect the whole crypto market in general. I believe Elon Musk's true intentions is to manipulate the market for his own financial benefit. Who knows if he bought more Bitcoin after prices went down because of his tweet?
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.

I agree with you, but whether Elon Musk's tweets on twitter have a big impact on Bitcoin, I haven't found any accurate evidence of Elon Musk's big influence on Bitcoin.
However, I followed the posts on twitter and other media, people are very sure the price of bitcoin will drop after his tweet, can friends give a little reference, that Elon Musk's role is big in the next few days to answer my doubts .
It's true that Elon Musk manipulated the market to profit financially, considering what he was doing was theory influencing people to distrust. This means that there is some kind of concept that wants to be done to destroy the price of the coin, then when the chaos occurs he will buy the coin on a large scale.
