Elon Musk has changed his display name on X (formerly Twitter) to 'Kekius Maximus' and updated his profile picture to an image of Pepe the Frog dressed in Roman armor, holding a gaming controller. He also updated his bio description to '⚔️'. Following this change, the cryptocurrency KEKIUS surged dramatically, reaching a price of $0.16 and a market cap of $156 million. Investors who held KEKIUS prior to Musk's update saw substantial returns, with one trader turning $1,964 into $1.535 million, a 780x return. The name change and profile update have sparked widespread speculation about Musk's intentions and their impact on the cryptocurrency market.
