Elon Musk, known for his online antics, caused a stir on the internet when he changed his X (formerly Twitter) account name to ‘Kekius Maximus’. Along with the name change, Musk updated his profile picture to a humorous rendition of the iconic ‘Pepe the Frog’ meme, dressed in gold armor and holding a video game controller. The meme’s association with internet culture has made it widely recognized, and Musk’s choice to feature it on his profile added fuel to his long history of playful online gestures.

The name ‘Kekius Maximus’ is a reference to a cryptocurrency token inspired by memes, which has gained popularity in recent months. As of December 27, the token was trading at about $0.005667, reflecting an incredible 497.56 percent increase compared to the previous day. The surge in this meme-inspired cryptocurrency has garnered attention, especially among Musk’s large online following.

This isn’t the first time Musk has made waves by altering his X account details. Previously, he had changed his name to “Mr. Tweet” and joked that Twitter wouldn’t let him change it back. Additionally, he has also used the name "Naughtius Maximus." Musk’s frequent rebranding of his social media accounts continues to captivate his followers, showcasing his playful and unpredictable personality.
