Musk first mentioned the word Kekius Maximus on Twitter when interacting with frog images posted by other accounts. Apparently, this slightly textured frog was called Kekius Maximus at the time. A few days later, Musk mentioned on Twitter that he would name the next new character in the expert mode (HC) of his favorite game "Path of Exile (POE)" Kekius Maximus.

The name Kekius Maximus should also have a certain relationship with the Pepe Meme culture. The prefix "Kekius" in the name may come from the Internet meme "Kek". It originally came from the game "World of Warcraft". When the Horde players typed "LOL", the Alliance players would see it translated as "KEK". This simple game term was then widely circulated in the game player community. Originally, it meant laughing out loud, just like "LOL".#KekiusMaximus
