A politician got arrested for doing 116mph in a 45mph zone. Sentenced to 1000 hours of community service in lieu of prison, he devoted 500 of those hours to his own political campaign, obfuscating to the court about how he did his community service. He also not only texted a

Elon Musk has weaponized political absurdity into a minor crypto correction. ETH slid 0.21% in one minute, accelerating to a 0.68% drop over ten minutes, while DOGE mirrored the trend with a 0.56% decline.

This is a remarkably tame response by his volatile standards, where a story about a politician's creative accounting passes for a macroeconomic signal. Nothing says decentralized financial revolution like a handful of altcoins twitching over a traffic violation.
