Elon Musk has once again caught everyone’s attention with updates to his X profile. He changed his profile name to “Kekius Maximus” and replaced his picture with a meme featuring “Pepe the Frog.” In the image, Pepe is portrayed wearing golden armor and holding a video game controller.
The name “Kekius Maximus” has sparked interest due to its association with the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Kekius, which recently experienced a significant surge of 497.56%. While Musk has not explicitly acknowledged any connection to this currency, his actions have fuelled curiosity and speculation.
This aligns with Musk’s well-known pattern of engaging with meme culture and cryptocurrencies. In the past, he has been influential in promoting digital assets like Dogecoin. His latest profile update reinforces his reputation for embracing internet humour and keeping his audience entertained and intrigued.
Is There a Cryptocurrency Connection?
“Kekius Maximus” shares its name with a “memecoin” — a cryptocurrency inspired by a popular internet meme.
Elon Musk has a history of making waves in the crypto market with his social media activity, most famously with Dogecoin.
Following Musk’s profile update, the value of the Kekius Maximus cryptocurrency skyrocketed by over 900% as of Tuesday afternoon, according to CoinGecko.
However, it remains unclear whether Musk, who has previously expressed support for meme-based cryptocurrencies, has any direct involvement with Kekius Maximus.
