Wise words

I cannot believe the Republicans are extending the debt ceiling—I am a Republican & I am embarrassed!

🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's latest political reshare triggered more market shrugs than shockwaves. PayPal barely blinked: down 0.01% in the first minute, then a yawn-inducing 0.05% gain over 10 minutes. Tesla edged up 0.17% immediately, peaking at 0.24% before settling at 0.11%—hardly a joyride. ETH and DOGE did their usual meme-coin tango: ETH climbed 0.51% over 10 minutes, while DOGE’s 0.62% rise proved even crypto traders were half-asleep. GORK, the perpetual enigma, ended down 0.20% after a flat start. Compared to Musk’s May 2025 post (48% similarity), this was tame: ETH swung harder back then (+0.15% to -0.18%), while DOGE’s volatility has since halved. The real surprise? Markets treated Trump’s debt ceiling angst like a forgotten Netflix subscription—mildly noted, swiftly ignored. Nothing says "stable markets" like a Musk-Trump collab that moves crypto more than actual financial instruments.
