Elon Musk has stirred the internet again by changing his X profile name to "Kekius Maximus" and swapping his display picture to an image of the popular meme "Pepe the Frog." The updated picture features Pepe donning golden armor and holding a video game controller, reflecting Musk's characteristic humor and meme-savvy persona.

The moniker "Kekius Maximus" also ties into the meme-inspired cryptocurrency token Kekius, which has gained attention in the market for its sharp 497.56% surge recently. While the connection between Musk’s name change and the cryptocurrency remains unclear, the tech mogul added fuel to speculation with a cryptic post stating, "Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE."

Musk's latest online quirk aligns with his history of engaging with cryptocurrency, including his advocacy for Dogecoin. Notably, President-elect Donald Trump recently announced that Musk will lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) in his administration—a humorous nod to Musk's influence on the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
