From Elon Musk to Kekius Maximus: Understanding the Name Change on X
Elon Musk has once again altered his identity on X (formerly Twitter), changing his display name to “Kekius Maximus” and updating his profile picture to an image of the “Pepe the Frog” meme. The meme depicts Pepe wearing golden armor and holding a video game controller.
The name “Kekius Maximus” is associated with a meme-inspired cryptocurrency token operating on multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum and Solana. Recently, this token experienced a significant surge in value, increasing by over 800% within 24 hours.
Musk’s actions have sparked speculation about his interest in meme-based cryptocurrencies. However, he has not publicly commented on the reasons for his name change or its connection to the cryptocurrency.
This is not the first time Musk has changed his X profile name. In January 2023, he changed it to “Mr. Tweet” and humorously noted, “Changed my name to Mr. Tweet, now Twitter won’t let me change it back.”
Musk’s playful online antics continue to keep his audience entertained and guessing. Whether this latest name change is a subtle nod to the rising popularity of meme cryptocurrencies or just another chapter in Musk’s unpredictable online saga, it has undoubtedly added fuel to the ever-buzzing discourse around him.
