No! No! No! You got it all wrong!
Relative to the mantle it stopped spinning! Like when the earth spins around itself in 24 hours it’s the mantle spinning. Now the core takes 24 hours to spin around itself, while it used to take like 23:50.
It’s like if you’re in a car on the highway and you’re going 80 and someone next to you is going 82 and then suddenly 80 and you assume that they are parking.
