Elon Musk

I have been very consistent. Just stating facts.

Elon Musk, in 2021, on the federal budget: You can't just spend $3 trillion more than you earn every year and don't expect something bad to happen. Something's got to give.

🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's recycled fiscal wisdom triggered more market shrugs than shocks. PayPal inched up 0.03% in the first minute, then added 0.11% over five minutes before flatlining: textbook "meh" momentum. Tesla popped 0.34% instantly but gave back half those gains within five minutes, proving even its loyalists have attention spans shorter than a Dogecoin meme. ETH and DOGE followed the classic crypto playbook: erratic jumps (ETH up 0.16%, DOGE up 0.39%) followed by swift retreats (ETH down 0.18%, DOGE down 0.51%), because nothing says stability like digital assets reacting to a three-year-old quote. GORK, the token nobody Googled, bled steadily—down 1.32%—because irony loves a sacrificial lamb. Volatility was tame by Muskian standards: no 10% swings, no exchange meltdowns, just the gentle chaos of traders pretending to care about macroeconomics for 10 whole minutes. The real takeaway? Markets now treat Musk’s consistency like a broken clock: right twice a day, ignored the other 1,438 minutes.
