Elon Musk Changes His X Profile Pic and Reactions To It Pour In

Billionaire Elon Musk is kicking off the New Year in a rather peculiar way. He has changed his X name to Kekius Maximum, along with a rather odd picture. Understandably, it's gotten people a little confused.

It's not the first time Musk has used X (formerly Twitter) as his personal soap box. He knows how to get the crowds going on both sides with cryptic messages. In the past, he has hinted at crypto-currency pumps, buyouts, and more with X.

But, now, Elon Musk has caused an uproar once again, by changing his profile picture and name on X to something rather odd. His new name is Kekius Maximum. It shows an image of a frog, akin to the Pepe meme, which was cool about a decade ago. The little green guy is holding a video game controller so that they know he's down with the kids.

It's anyone's guess as to what Elon Musk's new X name, Kekius Maximus, means. There are rumors that it has to do with a memecoin Elon has backed of the same name. The memecoin has skyrocketed 1200% after the name change. Musk has pulled similar stunts with Dogecoin in the past. It is also speculated that it is a play on the original Pepe the Frog meme, and Gladiator.

Ridicule And Praise In Equal Measure For Elon Musk And His X Name Change

Elon has a rather large squad of fanboys and supporters. As is to be expected, they have jumped in to praise the odd Elon Musk X name change and profile picture. Take this one for example.

One person on X posted, "It's the greatest thing I've ever seen? It's an incredible success." This X user has obviously gleaned some meaning from the Elon Musk name and profile picture change. There are also a fair amount of absolute lunatics waxing lyrically about god knows what.

Meanwhile, critics aren't swayed by the cute green frog and odd name change. "Let me get this straight—so the guy who just crowned himself Kekius Maximus, a video game addict with who-knows-what-else issues, is about to run the most powerful country on Earth... using an 82-year-old convicted felon as his puppet president? This isn't politics. This is @HyparadoxTheory"

Whatever his reasons for changing his X name and profile picture remain known only to Musk. But it's drawn plenty of attention. I suppose that was the point.
