Suddenly, Twitter sent me notifications on $TSLA topic, although I don't have any marked interest for it and, gasp, all the tweets were pumping Tesla. How it's "such a good investment" and how it's gonna "print".
It could be a coincidence, but considering the recent meltdown and Elon's previous antics, I wouldn't put it beside him to tweak the algorithm juuuuuust the right way to pump the stock.
Wondering on the legality of this myself.
