Elon Musk changes his X identifier to Kekius Maximus: The price of KEKIUS skyrockets 108%

Musk indirectly promoted dozens of memecoins during the golden age of cryptocurrency assets in the United States.

Launched five months ago, KEKIUS enjoys a strong community and significant liquidity.

Elon Musk changed his X identifier to Kekius Maximus again on Friday, May 17, 2025, indirectly promoting the Ethereum (ETH) based memecoin KEKIUS. At the end of 2024, Musk changed his X identifier to Kekius Maximus and used an image of Pepe, a frog dressed in a gladiator suit.

As a result, the memecoin KEKIUS was born earlier this year on the Ethereum and Solana networks. During the first time Musk changed his X identifier to Kekius Maximus, the price of KEKIUS soared over 900 percent and surpassed a market capitalization of $380 million.
