Elon Musk Changed His Display Name on X to “Gorklon Rust,” Pumping GORKUSDT Prices
May 05, 2025 at 05:05 pm
Elon Musk has been having some fun with display names on X, and it led to some serious gains for GORKUSDT. But, hang on, is the X founder actually behind Gork? Plus, we've got the scoop on some of the best Solana meme coins to ape into.
Get ready for the GORK phenomenon.
If you tag the bot for “answers” that leave you stunned.
In less than a week, the meme coin has surged, spawning a meme coin wave on Solana. Just as the GROK token emerged after X launched its chatbot, Grok, a GORK token was inevitable.

Elon Musk Becomes “Gorklon Rust”
Things get even more intriguing.
On May 4, Elon Musk, the CEO of xAI, changed his display name to “Gorklon Rust,” a playful nod to GORK, not Grok, his creation, igniting a frenzy around the meme coin.
Musk even adopted Gork’s profile picture.
Within minutes, the meme coin’s price soared 100%, hitting $0.09 before cooling off.
The GORKUSDT chart on MEXC shows a clear uptrend.
As long as interest persists this week, GORK could extend weekend gains, potentially becoming one of the best cryptos to buy in May.
As it is, the influence of Musk in crypto is well-documented.
He previously boosted Dogecoin, calling himself the “Dogemaster” during a May 2021 Saturday Night Live appearance.
While Musk endorsed Dogecoin, its founders are known. For GORK, the creators remain anonymous, as launching on platforms like Pump.fun or Launchlab requires no personal data.
The burning question: Is Musk behind GORK?
GORKUSDT Rising
GORK launched on May 1 with an epic announcement.
IM BACK BITCHESSim like carti out here
— gork (@gork) May 1, 2025
Hours later, the first GORK meme coin debuted on Solana via Pump.fun, before listing on multiple exchanges.
Though prices dipped by Friday, the weekend rebound may lay a foundation for further gains, pushing valuations higher.
The meme coin could break its all-time high of $0.09, set on May 4.

Why? With Musk’s involvement, GORK could mirror the GOAT surge in 2024. The spike was after Marc Andreessen funded GOAT with $50,000 in Bitcoin.
Unlike GOAT, whose founders were known, the creators of Gork remain a mystery.
Is Musk Behind GORK?
It is possible that Gork’s anonymous founders could be the xAI team who are deliberately creating a its parody to gauge reaction from users.
“Gorklon Rust,” complete with Gork’s profile picture, suggests a thematic link to Grok.
For now, we can only speculate.
Grok, the chatbot, clarified that GORK is an independent meme coin, not an official xAI project.
go on X and ask @grok the first contract address posted by @gork and it will answer this contract as the one and only shilling it's own token $gork pic.twitter.com/Y22Fnax1kt

Yet, as long as Musk remains “Gorklon Rust,” the price of GORK will likely edge higher.
Interesting as this is for meme coin traders, is Musk doing the right thing?
With Musk as “Gorklon Rust” and engaging with a bot whose token trades on exchanges, should the U.S. SEC get involved?
His engagement with the meme coin is helping fan demand, pumping GORKUSDT prices (manipulating prices?).
The bad news is: When the hype ends, prices will inevitably crash, causing havoc.
Is it time for the SEC to regulate such behavior? Imagine if another billionaire, like Bill Gates, promoted a “GATES” meme coin on, say, LinkedIn, where Microsoft has a controlling stake, and what it may trigger in the crypto market.
