Five Cryptocurrencies Inspired by Elon Musk's Ventures

From his AI startup xAI to social media platform X, multiple projects have recently launched meme tokens referencing his ventures, public persona, or digital activities.

Elon Musk continues to serve as a major source of inspiration in the cryptocurrency space. From his AI startup xAI to social media platform X, multiple projects have recently launched meme tokens referencing his ventures, public persona, or digital activities.

While none of these tokens are officially associated with Musk, their emergence reflects the growing trend of personality-driven cryptocurrency branding.

Here are five such cryptocurrencies that have made headlines in recent months:

Grok (GROK)

The Grok token emerged in late 2024, shortly after Elon Musk’s AI company xAI introduced its Grok chatbot. While there is no confirmed link between the chatbot and the cryptocurrency, the token’s branding appears directly inspired by the AI’s name and themes.

It launched on the Ethereum blockchain and quickly gained traction on social media platforms, often discussed alongside other meme assets. The project’s website and community channels position GROK as a community-driven token focused on humor and innovation.

Despite its popularity, the project has offered no clear utility or roadmap. Market analysts have noted its rise as part of a broader trend of celebrity- and brand-inspired tokens. The Grok token’s activity remains limited to retail speculation, with no institutional involvement or technical development revealed to date.

Gork (GORK)

Gork is another meme cryptocurrency that references Elon Musk’s xAI chatbot, though it distinguishes itself from GROK by operating on the Solana blockchain. Its creators have not published detailed technical documentation or a white paper, but promotional material suggests a thematic link to artificial intelligence and decentralized internet culture.

The GORK token has gained attention on platforms like Telegram and X, largely due to its perceived connection to Musk and the low transaction fees on the Solana network. On-chain data shows significant trading activity concentrated around its launch phase, followed by a decline in volume.

Despite the initial hype, the GORK project has remained silent on long-term plans or partnerships.

Kekius Maximus

Kekius Maximus is a cryptocurrency that surged in popularity after Elon Musk temporarily changed his X (formerly Twitter) display name to the same phrase. Soon after, a Solana-based token bearing the name began trading, experiencing a rapid price increase of over 4,000% within days of launch.

The token’s creator remains anonymous, and there is no indication that Musk is aware of or involved with the project. Online discussion forums linked the coin’s success to the broader trend of reactive meme coin launches based on Musk’s online activity.

However, with no roadmap, utility, or transparency, the project remains entirely speculative and dependent on social media engagement.

Musk It

Unlike other Musk-themed tokens, Musk It was launched by Errol Musk, Elon Musk’s father. The stated purpose is to fund a think tank called the Musk Institute, focused on global issues such as energy and geopolitics.

According to Errol Musk, the project aims to raise up to $200 million, though no official documentation has confirmed any fundraising milestones. The launch of Musk It was not endorsed by Elon Musk.

In interviews, Errol Musk claimed the initiative would promote practical dialogue on international topics through blockchain-based engagement. Despite this, the project has yet to outline how the token would function in practice. Its legitimacy and long-term viability remain unclear.

Dogelon Mars (ELON)

Dogelon Mars is not a new project in 2025, but it has maintained a strong presence among Musk-inspired tokens. Named by combining “Dogecoin,” “Elon,” and “Mars,” the token represents a blend of Musk’s well-known interests in cryptocurrencies and space exploration.

The coin was originally launched in 2021 and continues to trade on multiple major exchanges. While Dogelon Mars has a larger market capitalization than most new meme tokens, it has never received acknowledgment from Elon Musk. It features basic staking and NFT integration, though no significant technical updates have occurred in recent years.

Its inclusion on this list stems from continued relevance in discussions around Musk-themed cryptocurrencies.
