People were not coordinated Hasn't Musk been fined -repeatedly- by the FTC for doing exactly that?

  No. He's not rallying people to buy TSLA and surge the price short term. He tweets other stupid things like claiming to take the company private at $420 and that the stock price is too high.

    This is objectively false. He was fined by the FTC for market manipulation. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/28/elon-musk-says-40m-tweet-tesla-was-worth-it-fines https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/oct/28/elon-musk... It's okay to like Tesla but please don't spread lies.

      Did you even read that article? That is exactly what I was referencing. He was fined for misleading investors not for coordinating a distributed group effort. Musk absolutely wanted to take Telsa private but was unable to and made an early announcement.
