Elon Musk renames X account to Kekius Maximus amid cryptocurrency surge

firstpost.com

Elon Musk has changed his X account name to "Kekius Maximus" and updated his profile picture to feature Pepe the Frog. This change is linked to a new cryptocurrency token, KEKIUS, which has gained popularity in the crypto market. The KEKIUS token surged over 500% in value shortly after Musk's name change, trading at about $0.005667. The token combines internet culture with decentralized finance, drawing on the Pepe meme and the character from the movie Gladiator. Musk's previous name changes on X have included "Mr. Tweet" and "Naughtius Maximus." While his latest move has sparked speculation about a possible endorsement of KEKIUS, he has not confirmed any direct connection to the token.
