Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, posted a clip of his Shiba Inu late at night — a short, AI-generated video of the dog wandering down a narrow hallway with a small banjo strapped to its paw — and, as expected, it instantly flooded every crypto feed. Because anything remotely related to Mr. Musk and the dog tends to dominate the discussion, even if the market itself has no interest in reacting to it.
Dogecoin, which is usually the first to show signs of Musk-related influence, didn’t even blink this time. The price remained locked near $0.158, continuing to move along the same intraday trajectory it had been following for hours, with no pullbacks, no breaks, and no changes in volume. There was nothing to suggest that the clip was important to traders who were already dealing with a general cooldown across the meme sector.

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) was no exception. The token remained at around $0.000009, drifting downwards, and not showing any candlesticks that could be reasonably associated with what appears on Mask’s timeline. This is a big contrast to the reflexive behavior Token has shown in the past.
What about FLOKI meme coins?
“FLOKI,” as Musk ultimately named his Shiba Inu, matched a pattern of early weakness, routine touches to intraday lows, and a modest recovery that tracked broader small-cap stocks rather than external catalysts, confirming that the Shiba Inu videos functioned strictly as entertainment rather than market input.
So, even though the video dominated feeds for a while and caused the usual reactions, nothing appeared on the market and the meme coin name continued to follow the same direction it was already heading before Musk posted it.
