Elon Musk's existential AI musings triggered a crypto rollercoaster that makes existential dread look like a stable career choice. ETH dipped briefly (-0.08% in 1 minute) before rebounding (+0.31% in 10 minutes), proving even algorithms need a moment to process human melodrama. DOGE and GORK barely blinked, with DOGE creeping up (+1.27% in 10 minutes) as if to remind everyone it’s still the people’s meme. Compared to his May 2025 "AI will obviate search" post (45% similarity), this was tame: that one saw ETH swing from +0.04% to -0.09% before settling, while GORK plummeted (-1.98% in 10 minutes), suggesting the market has grown numb to Musk’s AI angst—or just learned to tune him out. Nothing says "healthy market" like digital currencies reacting to a billionaire’s late-night thoughts with the precision of a sleep-deprived Magic 8-Ball.
