To be clear, I mean solar+batteries, not just solar. The entire Starlink constellation of over 7000 satellites, which go through Earth shadow many times per day, are just powered by solar+batteries. And Earth is just a giant satellite.

Elon Musk's latest solar battery musing sent crypto markets into their usual state of mild confusion and negligible movement. ETH dipped 0.22% in the first minute, then stabilized to a mere 0.05% drop over 10 minutes: classic volatility for a tweet that reads like a sleep-deprived astrophysics lecture. DOGE mirrored ETH’s 0.22% initial drop but flirted with positivity by the 10-minute mark, because of course it did. GORK, ever the drama queen, led the pack with a 0.71% first-minute plunge before calming down to a 0.21% decline. Compared to historical solar-themed posts, this one landed in the middle of the pack: less disruptive than his "elementary math" rant (which saw ETH swing 0.68% down over 10 minutes) but more impactful than his China solar deployment trivia (where ETH barely blinked). The 53% similarity to his Europe electricity post suggests markets are getting better at ignoring his solar fanfiction—or just too tired to react. Nothing says "efficient markets" like crypto prices twitching because a billionaire called Earth a giant satellite.
