🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's deficit doomposting has become the market's equivalent of a shrug emoji. PayPal barely twitched: flat in the first minute, then a microscopic 0.07% dip at 5 minutes. Tesla slid 0.33% at peak, while ETH and DOGE mirrored each other’s 0.35% and 0.92% drops—crypto’s version of synchronized swimming. GORK, ever the contrarian, rallied 0.31% after 10 minutes, because why not. Compared to past performances, this was a snooze: previous posts triggered Tesla swings up to 0.34% and ETH jumps of 0.16%, while today’s moves barely registered on the volatility Richter scale. Nothing says "market confidence" like assets collectively yawning at fiscal armageddon.
