Elon Musk has done it again—this time, he’s turned heads by changing his X profile name to “Kekius Maximus” and replacing his profile pic with none other than the meme legend, “Pepe the Frog.”
But this isn’t just any Pepe—he’s rocking golden armor and wielding a video game controller, showing off Musk’s quirky sense of humor and love for internet culture. The name “Kekius Maximus” also brings to mind the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Kekius, which has recently seen a jaw-dropping 497.56% jump in value.
While it’s unclear if Musk’s name change has anything to do with the cryptocurrency, his cryptic message, “Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE,” has left fans guessing. Given Musk’s history with crypto, especially his well-known fondness for Dogecoin, it’s no surprise that the internet is buzzing.
Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump has made a tongue-in-cheek announcement, revealing that Musk will be heading the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) in his administration, recognizing Musk’s role in pushing Dogecoin to new heights.
This isn’t the first time Musk has had fun with his online identity. Back in January 2023, he tweeted, “Changed my name to Mr. Tweet, now Twitter won’t let me change it back,” showing that his playful side is always just a tweet away!
