Join Telegram ChannelElon Musk, known for his unpredictable social media activity, has once again generated excitement in the crypto community by changing his name and profile picture on X (formerly Twitter) to refer to PEPE, a meme-inspired cryptocurrency.
According to a report by U. TodayMusk recently changed his name to “Kekius Maximus” and adopted an avatar featuring the iconic PEPE meme.
Elon Musk Subtly Supports PEPE
This marks the second time this month that Musk has touched on PEPE. On December 10, he reshared an AI-generated image of Kekius Maximus from another account. The image depicts PEPE dressed as a Roman general standing in the Colosseum, seemingly a reference to both Gladiator 2 movies and online games Path of Exilewhere reaching level 80 is considered a major achievement.
While Musk will likely return to his original name soon—given his history of temporary changes—his recent activity has fueled speculation. In 2023, he swapped the Twitter bird logo for the DOGE symbol, triggering a significant increase in the price of Dogecoin.
Following Musk's new PEPE reference, the price of the cryptocurrency saw a marked increase, and shareholders are hoping the momentum will persist. Data from CoinGecko shows a brief price increase that coincided with Musk's actions. However, the lack of transparency from PEPE developers raises questions about its future prospects.
For now, the crypto world is watching eagerly, wondering if Musk's hilarious actions will once again lead to another crypto surge.
