Elon Musk becomes Kekius Maximus (again!); sparks crypto surge
Billionaire Elon Musk has once again changed his display name—this time reverting to Kekius Maximus. Accompanying the update is a new profile picture, depicting Musk clad in armour with the title “Emperor Kekius Maximus” written on it.
Musk briefly adopted the same name in December, likely drawing inspiration from the memecoin Kekius Maximus. And just like the last time, the name change has coincided with a sharp surge in the coin’s value—rising by 142% as of 11:30 am on May 17, according to The Crypto Times.
Back in December, the coin experienced an even more dramatic rally, spiking 497.56% within 24 hours.
