Tech billionaire and innovator Elon Musk, known for his love of memes, shared a post on his social media platform X. The post featured a popular internet meme, Pepe the Frog, which inspired the creation of the Pepe cryptocurrency last year.
The community, including many Pepe fans, reacted enthusiastically to his post. This isn’t the first time the techno singer has shared a Pepe the Frog-related post this week. One even sent the meme coin up over 14% at the start of the week.
Musk's tweet about Bibi stirs up the community
Elon Musk posted a post about how X users receive information and news posted on this social giant.
While “ordinary people,” as the meme Musk posted reads, understand that two times two equals four, others demand: “Source?” as one of many ways to deny supposedly reliable news or data. “Ordinary people” were depicted in that post using a picture of Pepe.
Many X users responded to the tweet with Pepe memes, supporting Musk’s assumption. In light of the recent US presidential election and Musk’s active support for the newly elected political leader, X and its owner have come under fire from the opposite side, the political left, which lost the presidential election in November.
Musk Posts Several Baby Memes This Week
Before November and now, Musk claimed that his platform X had become the only reliable source of news, while the mainstream media was controlled by left-leaning political forces.
As for Musk’s previous posts about Pepe this week, on Monday he reposted an image of Pepe the Frog as an ancient Roman general standing in the Colosseum. The tweet was titled “Cyceus Maximus,” an apparent reference to Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” and “Gladiator 2,” which were released in 2000 and 2024. The post coincided with the Pepe meme coin rising by about 14%.
