Elon Musk was never tempted to stay low-key, especially on X (previously Twitter) where he recently changed his username to Kekius Maximus and an avatar to the universally recognized Pepe the Frog. He depicted Pepe in golden armor and with a video game controller, and humor and sarcasm applied.

But what is even more fascinating is the fact that “Kekius Maximus” is also the name of a cryptocurrency meme coin token that runs on the Ethereum and Solana Blockchains. It has been recently causing a stir in the cryptocurrency market wherein various investors and enthusiasts gather.

Musk posted on X, “Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE.”. The multi-billionaire has already expressed his involvement with cryptocurrencies and changing his profile name has led to speculating about such a correlation.

However, Musk has got more than a passing stake in the cryptocurrency data system. Donald Trump in early November informed that Musk as the owner of X would head a new department under his presidency called the “Department of Government Efficiency” (or DOGE). DOGE, as its name implies, is Dogecoin – a cryptocurrency referred to by Musk that must minimize bureaucracy.
