I think the real question w/r/t manipulation is whether GS is somehow short TSLA and profits from a drop.

  Stock manipulation is a federal crime. I am sure, GS doesn't do this, otherwise feds would notice them.

    Well, GS has done illegal things before. But yeah, I don't think they'd try to do something blatantly illegal like this. This wouldn't even appear on HN's radar if it wasn't Tesla.

    Ha! Trump just deregulated a whole bunch of things. What makes you think this is not possible in Trump's America where more than half of Congress is made up of Billionaires or people strongly funded by Billionaires?
