#ElonMusk. #KEKIUSMAXIMUS Elon Musk has sent the cryptocurrency world into a frenzy by changing his name X to "Kekius Maximus" and his avatar to the $PEPE memecoin.

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are buzzing, with $PEPE rising by 12% in just two hours. A new memecoin, $KEKIUS, has also been launched to cater to Musk's antics.

This is not the first time this month Musk has interacted with PEPE; he retweeted a similar image on December 10th. His new avatar pays homage to "Gladiator II" and "Path of Exile," with PEPE as a Roman general.
