Elon Musk’s X Profile Changes Spark Memecoin Boom

In a series of quick social media moves, billionaire Elon Musk recently changed his X (formerly Twitter) username to “Kekius Maximus” and adopted a Roman emperor-themed profile picture. These actions triggered an immediate response in the crypto world, with a little-known memecoin named KEKIUS experiencing a surge exceeding 100% within hours of the changes. Speculators rushed in after seeing the perceived endorsement as a signal to buy the token. The coin’s recent resurgence comes on the heels of Musk’s previous online actions, which have often sparked similar price surges in obscure cryptocurrencies.
