New year – new name for Musk
Nowadays, Elon Musk’s name is “Kekius Maximus” – at least on his own platform X.
The profile picture shows the character Pepe the Frog.
Musk himself has not given any explanation for the name – and image change.
Among other things, it is believed that it may be a tribute to right-wing extremist groups – as the frog has been used as a symbol in these.
It could also be a hint to a video game, or to a cryptocurrency also called Kekius Maximus.
It could also be a joke that he has a fake account on the app.
