Elon Musk has updated his X (formerly Twitter) profile, changing his display name to "Kekius Maximus" and his profile picture to the "Pepe the Frog" meme holding a video game joystick.

Following these updates, the value of the memecoin Kekius Maximus skyrocketed by 900 percent. Musk's photo change also boosted the coin's popularity. 

 

In a post on X, Musk wrote, "Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE," referencing the video game Path of Exile. This isn’t Musk’s first time embracing memecoins—he has previously used Dogecoin-related images and names on his profile.
