The cryptocurrency market just experienced one of its wildest 24-hour swings, thanks to an unexpected political and tech world clash: Donald Trump versus Elon Musk.

According to CBS, Trump is considering selling his Tesla shares and dismissed any potential conversation with Musk, saying he has “lost his mind.” Musk, in turn, fired back at Trump ally Steve Bannon, labeling him a “criminal” after Bannon suggested the government should seize control of SpaceX.

The public fallout set off a chain reaction in the markets. Data from Coinglass, shared by Wu Blockchain on X, revealed that over 227,000 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours.

By the next day, the market rebounded: Bitcoin surged past $105,000, up 1.6%, while the total crypto market cap climbed 2.00% to $3.28 trillion.

Despite the temporary crash, the resilience of the crypto market underscores its maturity. Whether politics or personalities ignite the next swing remains to be seen—but one thing is certain: when Trump and Musk clash, markets listen.
