🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's cryptic iceberg post triggered a market reaction as subtle as a sledgehammer in a library. PayPal dipped 0.15% in 5 minutes, then clawed back half the loss, mirroring its June performance when a similar post caused a 0.13% rise—apparently fraud allegations are PayPal's version of a lukewarm coffee. Tesla gained 0.47% over 10 minutes, outperforming June's 0.21% rise, proving Musk could tweet about literal icebergs and Tesla bulls would still see a buy signal. ETH and DOGE wobbled like a drunk tightrope walker, with ETH flipping from +0.26% to -0.12%—volatility so tame it barely registers against crypto's usual 5% mood swings. GORK's 0.81% spike and subsequent flatline suggests either a bot herd or someone misread "tip of the iceberg" as a buy recommendation. The real mystery here is why anyone expected coherence from a post linking USAID bribes to meme stocks. Markets reacted, but the only iceberg is the one separating Musk's tweets from rational investing.
