Elon Musk Changes Name to "Kekius Maximus" on X, Meme Coin Soars 900% | Firstpost America

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, known for his bizarre antics on social media, is making headlines once again— this time, for changing his name from Elon Musk to “Kekius Maximus” on X without any explanation. It is said that “Kekius” is a twist on internet slang “kek”, which means laughing out loud in the game "World of Warcraft" and is used by far-right groups. Meanwhile, Maximus refers to the lead character of the popular movie "Gladiator". Along with his name, Musk also changed his profile picture to “Pepe the Frog”, a meme that became popular during Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign, as it was associated with white supremacists. Musk’s latest antic triggered immediate ripple effects across the cryptocurrency world. "Kekius Maximus", which is also a digital currency inspired by internet memes, soared by over 900 per cent.
