    No he fucking didn’t, and trying to push this narrative lets him pass responsibility on one of the greatest market manipulation schemes ever seen. This shit is going exactly according to plan.

    Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

    Not sure if it’s malice or stupidity

    Definitely reminds me of Liz Truss vs lettuce

      Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

      Both can be true in this case.
