You are reading the literal meaning right: everyone is doing it.

But you are reading the intent wrong, which is to point out the extent of fraud and deception in boardrooms and markets.

Definitely sounds like you're normalizing this kind of behavior.

You can interpret my intent however you like, but I find that "kind of behavior" abhorrent and a reflection of broader societal problems.

I would agree that Tesla's stock price is as high as it is because investors are betting that there are plenty of other suckers who will be convinced by Musk's unfounded claims.
