Look at the chart. The VW infinity squeeze already happened in a way. What else do you expect? Old shorts were squeezed out, new shorts entered the bet. Too many people apparently haven't looked at the right side of the VW chart: the steep drop-off from the ATH of ~1,000€.

This is /u/Variation-Separate "market makers engineered next leg down all the way to SPX 1,800" all over again.

So many people are now holding the bag. They apparently also don't understand that in the stock market, the price is determined by the last transaction. If less people buy (and who should buy, because every gambler is already in), gravity pulls the stock down. Party is over.

And Musk should be investigated by the SEC a bit more often.

Edit: One thing to add: I refuse to believe that retail ONLY forced the price up. I'd bet some big players participated in the pushing of the price all the way up, selling at the top and now retail is holding the bag, because they thought they make up most of the volume, whereas they have been played.
