$PEPE

Following the explosion of SpaceX's Starship 36 at its Texas test site, Elon Musk shared a cryptic tweet featuring a PEPE meme. This triggered a flurry of mascot posts from various meme coin communities, including PEPE, BabyDoge, and even a WIF account showing Kraken and PEPE mascots. A user asked Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, to interpret the tweet. Grok suggested it was Musk’s response to the failed rocket test. The Starship exploded just before a scheduled fire test. Despite the dramatic event, no injuries were reported, though engineers noted a “major anomaly” and are investigating the cause.
