Calling it a conspiracy is one of the dumbest things. The rich do that shit every time things tumble. Always.

Musk out 80% of his stock value still has 60+ billion dollars. Do you think he'd be financially struggling with that? Do you not think he can qualify for a loan anymore? He could lose 99% of it and still afford to buy a business or two during a significant downturn.
