Elon Musk Hits PEPE Community With Unexpected Hot Tweet
Billionaire tech entrepreneur 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 last year inspired the creation of the PEPE meme cryptocurrency.
The community, including many PEPE enthusiasts, reacted enthusiastically to his post. This isn’t the first Pepe the Frog-related post the tech mogul has shared this week. One even sent the aforementioned meme coin soaring by over 14% at the start of the week.
Musk's Tweet About PEPE Sparks Community
Elon Musk posted a post about how X users receive information and news posted on this social media giant.
While “ordinary people,” as the meme Musk posted goes, understand that two times two equals four, other people ask, “Source?” as one of the many ways to deny news or data that is supposed to be trustworthy. “Ordinary people” are depicted in this 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 other side, the political left, which lost the presidential election in November.
Musk Posts Several PEPE Memes This Week
Before November and now, Musk was claiming that his X platform had become the only trustworthy source of news, while the mainstream media was controlled by left-leaning political forces.
As for Musk’s previous posts on PEPE this week, on Monday he retweeted an image of Pepe the Frog as an ancient Roman general standing in the Colosseum. He titled the tweet “Kekius Maximus,” an apparent reference to Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” and “Gladiator 2,” which are set to be released in 2000 and 2024. The post coincided with a 14% surge in the value of PEPE.
