I don't know about the market manipulation part. But messing with a weather station in an airport, presumably one that is used by pilots and air traffic control for safety critical operations (METAR) is likely to be very illegal, maybe with prison sentences.
I am pretty sure that's the reason why they chose a weather station at an airport. In addition to being public information, it is not something normal people want to mess with.
I've seen the markets and they sure did move wildly, but what confirms that this was manipulated? (The alternative I was thinking of is "this twitter poster saw those two market resolutions and made up a narrative connecting them").
this a grim indicator of growing global wealth inequality when people are this desperate to get ahead. increase taxes, a strong government how the power to be an economic equaliser and take care of it’s people

Severe pedantry alert:
METAR is a text format. I believe you are referring to ASOS/AWOS, which is the physical system at the airport.

What, fraud? Probably yes
Is there a source confirming that this in fact happened other than this tweet?

Please; be serious. People have been gaming everything for a quick profit literally since the beginning of time.
THIS is most definitely not indicative of the growing wealth inequality.
yeah, completely out of context and too generalist.
