Elon Musk

Humanity has a shot at reaching the stars, but only if civilization holds strong long enough for Mars to prosper on its own. Then Mars can come to the aid of Earth, just as America came to the aid of the world in WW1, WW2 and the Cold War.
Honestly felt like such a special moment to be there to witness that first catch. Absolutely visceral feeling. Cemented the vibe shift. Humanity is going to make it. x.com/BasedBeffJezos…

Elon Musk's latest interplanetary pep talk sent crypto markets on a brief joyride before gravity kicked in. ETH: Initial 1-minute pop of +0.13% quickly deflated to -0.66% at 5 minutes, settling at -0.25% by 10 minutes—like a SpaceX booster failing to stick the landing. DOGE mirrored the trajectory with a +0.16% hop before tumbling -0.62%, while GORK’s +1.50% spike proved more resilient, ending +1.05%: the speculative darling of the hour. Volatility here is tame by crypto standards—compare this to May’s post, where GORK swung +4.96% in 5 minutes amid similar Mars-themed musings. Today’s reaction suggests traders are becoming numb to Musk’s existential fanfiction, or perhaps just distracted by Earth-bound problems like rent. Nothing says "stable store of value" like assets that gyrate because someone compared Mars to America’s military history. The markets have spoken: humanity might make it to the stars, but your portfolio might not make it to next week.
