Elon Musk changes X profile name to 'Kekius Maximus' with 'Pepe the Frog' display picture
California/IBNS: Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again captured attention on social media with a cryptic update to his X profile.
The chosen image depicts Pepe in golden armour, holding a video game controller—a playful nod to the meme’s enduring influence on internet culture, symbolising humour, absurdity, and rebellion.
The name "Kekius Maximus" has drawn particular interest, as it references internet meme culture and a cryptocurrency token of the same name.
This meme-inspired crypto project operates on platforms like Ethereum and Solana and has recently surged in popularity.

As of Dec. 27, the token’s value skyrocketed by 497.56 percent, reaching approximately $0.005667.
Despite the connection, Musk has not confirmed whether his profile changes are related to the token or are simply for amusement.
He fueled speculation further with a post on X, jokingly claiming, “Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE,” referencing the video game 'Path of Exile', known for its intricate mechanics.
Musk’s ties to cryptocurrency are well-known, and his tweets often influence digital currency trends.
Musk is no stranger to social media antics. In January 2023, he famously changed his display name to "Mr. Tweet" and joked that he was unable to revert it.
