Elon Musk changed his profile name from "Gorklon Rust" to "Kekius Maximus" and set the profile picture of him wearing armour with the text "Emperor Kekius Maximus".

Elon Musk's playful antics in the realm of social media never fail to generate buzz, and his latest move has set the meme-verse abuzz once again. After setting his X (formerly Twitter) profile name to “Gorklon Rust” and profile picture in an armor with the text "Emperor Kekius Maximus", the billionaire entrepreneur changed his X (formerly Twitter) profile name to ‘Kekius Maximus’ and set a profile picture of him wearing armor with the text "Emperor Kekius Maximus".

Elon Musk has not provided any explanation for the sudden change of his X profile (@elonmusk). But, after this move, Kekius Maximus meme coin started gaining upward momentum.

In December 2024, Elon Musk changed his profile name from "Elon Musk" to "Kekius Maximus" and set a profile picture of the "Pepe the Frog" meme.

'Kekius Maximus' is a meme-inspired crypto token on Ethereum and Solana that surged over 497% to USD 0.005667 after a Musk-related name change, but later crashed to USD 0.001165, highlighting meme coin volatility.

After hitting a high of USD 0.005655 on May 16, Kekius Maximus (KMAX) fell more than 497% to USD 0.001165 by 07:50 ET (11:50 GMT) on May 17, data showed. The sell-off wiped out almost all of the recent gains in the meme coin, which shot up rapidly after Elon Musk changed his X (formerly Twitter) profile name to 'Kekius Maximus'.

Earlier in December 2024, Musk had set his X profile name to 'Elon Musk' and set a profile picture of himself, which was later changed to a rendering of the "Pepe the Frog" meme. Afterward, several crypto tokens, such as Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Floki Inu (CRYPTO: FLOKI), saw heightened volatility.
