DIGIVESTASI – Elon Musk recently made waves on the platform X by changing his account name and profile picture. On December 31, Musk changed his name to Kekius Maximus, with a new profile picture featuring Pepe, the iconic frog, playing video games with a joystick. In one of his posts, Musk wrote, "Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE."

Musk, who is known for his love of meme coins, also retweeted a post referring to him as Kekius Maximus. This move was quickly leveraged by traders to make profits. A crypto analyst mentioned that someone who bought KEKIUS worth USD 1,964 two weeks ago now managed to turn it into over USD 1.535 million.

This name change by Musk is not the first time. In January 2023, he changed his name to Mr. Tweet and previously used the name 'Naughtius Maximus' before reverting to his original name. Last month, Musk also posted a meme featuring Doge. Although referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, the meme also impacted the price movement of Dogecoin.
