🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk’s latest crypto-adjacent musing proved once again that the market treats his tweets like a roulette wheel: everyone spins, but only the memes win. PayPal edged up 0.1% in the first minute, then flatlined: a classic case of "mention adjacent but not quite relevant." Tesla dipped 0.1% initially, then clawed back 0.08%—investors clearly too busy parsing Doge references to care about actual cars. ETH and DOGE popped 0.58% and 0.61% respectively within a minute, because nothing says "financial strategy" like a quote from "Sir Doge of the Coin." GORK, the perpetual footnote, wobbled between gains and losses as if unsure whether it was invited to the party. Compared to last year’s similar post, the reaction was marginally louder: ETH’s 0.58% spike dwarfed its prior 0.06% yawn, and DOGE’s 0.61% surge outpaced its previous 0.11% whimper. Volatility remains the only constant, though at these percentages, "volatility" is a generous term—more like a gentle breeze in a crypto hurricane. The irony? A post mocking legacy news outlets moved markets more than most earnings reports. Perhaps financial analysts should start quoting memes too.
