By my calculation, Jupiter's total KE is equal to the total energy
output of the Sun for 13 years. Not very impressive in the grand scheme
of a solar system that is nearly 5 billion years old.

Interesting :-) So it takes the total output of the sun for years to affect Jupiter.
But don't forget that we already know what this little troll's response will be when it gets bored.
