Elon Musk's solar musings triggered a crypto sell-off, proving once again that green energy talk isn't always a green light for digital assets. ETH dropped 0.67% in 1 minute, 1.53% in 5 minutes, and 1.86% in 10 minutes, while DOGE slid 0.72%, 1.84%, and 2.50% over the same periods. GORK initially gained 0.41% before joining the retreat, down 2.79% at the 10-minute mark. This volatility is notably sharper than historical reactions to Musk's solar tweets, where ETH and DOGE typically wobbled within 0.5% ranges. Even GORK, the meme coin’s meme coin, usually shrugged off these posts with minor fluctuations—today’s plunge is an outlier. Nothing says "stable store of value" like crypto assets tanking because someone questioned Texas’s motives for going solar. The market’s takeaway: renewable energy chatter is bearish, unless you’re shorting irony.
