Elon Musk's New X Profile Name Sends 'Kekius Maximus' Meme Coins Soaring
May 17, 2025 at 10:54 am
A token trading under the name Kekius Maximus ($KEKIUS) jumped more than 1700% in less than six hours after Elon Musk updated his X profile name to the same moniker.
Elon Musk has once again sparked a frenzy in the meme coin market with his latest antics on X. The billionaire businessman updated his X profile name to Kekius Maximus, quickly setting off a chain reaction among crypto traders.
Several meme coins referencing “Kekius Maximus” saw dramatic price increases on Friday after Musk's update, with one token specifically named Kekius Maximus ($KEKIUS) skyrocketing more than 1,700% in less than six hours, as of 8:05 ET. The token had surged to a high of $0.0007851, recovering from a low of $0.0000428.
Other similarly named tokens, such as KekCoin (KEK), also posted double- and triple-digit gains amid renewed interest driven by Musk’s online activity.
This isn’t the first time Musk has adopted the “Kekius Maximus” identity on X. He first called himself Kekius Maximus on X back on December 31, 2024, which resulted in a rapid 1,200% spike in a meme token sharing the same name. However, the original token only gained around 130% this time.
Kekius Maximus is a mashup of Pepe the Frog, a long-running internet meme, and Maximus, the Roman general from the film Gladiator. The persona blends satire and internet culture in a way that has become typical of Musk’s posts on X.
