Elon Musk reveals X name and avatar change
Today, tech mogul Elon Musk came up with a big surprise for the X community and particularly for crypto fans, as he changed his X name to “Kekius Maximus” and put up an avatar with popular meme Pepe the Frog, which inspired the PEPE cryptocurrency in April last year.
This is not the first time this month that Musk has posted a PEPE-themed character on his X page. On Dec. 10, he retweeted a Grok-made image of “Kekius Maximus” from another X account, with a comment.
Kekius Maximus” was Pepe the Frog dressed as a Roman general standing in the middle of the Colosseum arena — a likely reference to the Ridley Scott Gladiator II movie released in cinemas around the world in November.
Elon Musk’s tweet refers to the online game Path of Exile, where reaching level 80 is a significant milestone in the game’s progression system.
