In a new move that has sparked widespread interest on the Internet, billionaire Elon Musk, known for his unconventional behavior,
Controversially, he changed his name on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) to "Kekius Maximus".
It didn't stop there, as he replaced his profile picture with an image inspired by the popular internet meme "Pepe the Frog."
The new image shows Pepe wearing golden armor and holding a video game controller, in a design that combines humor and fantasy.
The move has raised questions about its implications, especially since the name “Kekius Maximus” is associated with the world of digital currencies, as the name refers to a cryptocurrency of the same name, which has seen a significant increase in its value by 779% at the time of writing this report, and Musk has not officially linked his change of his name on “X” to this currency.
Musk's move on the X platform received mixed reactions, with some praising his creativity and boldness in joking with the audience, while others wondered what message this change might carry, especially since Musk is known for his great influence on digital currencies and digital culture in general.
This is not the first time Musk has deliberately stirred controversy through his social media account. In January 2023, he changed his name to "Mr. Tweet", and later indicated that the platform had prevented him from changing it again. Musk also always links his personal interests in the world of technology and digital culture.
The new change raises questions about Musk's continued influence on global memes and cryptocurrencies, with some seeing the moves as a strategy to promote certain ideas or products.
