Finally, it's a day when AI Memes are not dominating the charts.
This morning, it was still a carnival day for AI Memes on the Solana chain, but around 2 PM, Musk changed his Twitter avatar to a Meme image resembling the Pepe frog and directly changed his name to Kekius Maximus. Notably, this is the first time Musk has changed his Twitter name.
Yes, it's this thing👇
Additionally, Musk has been frequently tweeting about Pepe-related concepts recently, and this name and avatar change has directly caused the Meme market to boil. Besides the already listed $Pepe rising in response, the PumpFun Meme on the Solana chain is also in a frenzy, turning the entire Jinxi Northwest into a chaotic mess.
According to GMGN.AI data, the popularity of the Kekius Maximus concept Meme has topped the Meme market within an hour.

Is Old Ma playing the internet fusion meme again?
Musk's first mention of the term Kekius Maximus on Twitter was in interaction with a frog image posted by another account, clearly referring to this somewhat textured frog as Kekius Maximus at that time. A few days later, Musk mentioned on Twitter that he would name a new character in the expert mode (HC) of his favorite game, Path of Exile (POE), Kekius Maximus.
Today, Musk's new tweet also referenced this game name:
Speculating the Origin of "Kekius"
According to netizens' speculation, the name Kekius Maximus is likely related to Pepe Meme culture.
The prefix "Kekius" may originate from the internet meme term "Kek." It initially came from the game World of Warcraft, where players on the Horde side typing "LOL" would have it translated to "KEK" for Alliance players. This simple gaming term quickly spread among the gaming community, initially representing laughter like "LOL."
As internet culture evolved, the term took on new meanings on platforms like 4chan and Reddit. Users discovered a deity named "Kek" in ancient Egyptian mythology, depicted as a frog-headed human during the Greco-Roman period, and associated with chaos and darkness. This coincidence gave the internet term a deeper cultural significance.
However, due to the mixed nature of the internet environment, the term "Kek" has also frequently been used for certain political metaphors, especially during the 2016 U.S. election. This will not be elaborated on here; interested readers can refer to Wiki or Meme Encyclopedia for detailed introductions to this term's origin.
Kek and Frog Meme
Returning to the Meme, as mentioned earlier, there is a frog-headed deity named "Kek" in ancient Egypt, and with the popularity of the Pepe frog image in recent years, the internet naturally draws connections between Pepe and Kek, often used in Pepe remixes.
Additionally, according to Twitter user @neso, as early as April 2023, when $pepe was launched, it was stated on the official website, "In Lord Kek we trust," indicating that the $pepe project had played with the Kek meme.
Musk's name change to "Kekius Maximus" may be a blend based on the "Kek" etymology. By combining "Kek" with the Latin suffix "-ius" and "Maximus" (meaning "the greatest"), it creates a unique combination that merges gaming culture, internet slang, and classical language.
From this perspective, Musk is indeed a high-intensity internet surfer.
Which tokens are being hyped?
After all this, which related concept tokens are being hyped? Urgently.
Due to the rapid emergence of the news, the Kekius Maximus concept Memes are currently in a relatively PVP state, with scams and rug pulls rampant. From personal experience (loss of money), there are currently only two tokens with a longer creation time and community operation that maintain a relatively healthy state.
Note: Meme token prices are highly volatile and carry significant risks. Investors should fully assess risks and participate cautiously.

$KM (Kekius Maximus) - Solana
Contract Address:
HuAncxDEsakCDgZS2Yfo9xJbHmtHXMnxxkT9jqdXnHhm
Creation Date: December 10, 2024 (21 days ago)
Current Market Cap: $40 million
24H Trading Volume: $108 million
This token was created on the same day Musk first mentioned the Kekius Maximus concept and surged to a market cap of around $2 million during Musk's second mention. However, the price has since declined, but the community account @kekius_onsol has remained active, and today it caught the trend, becoming the hottest Solana token in the entire concept. (It's quite impressive how lucky the community is.)
$KEKIUS (Kekius Maximus) - ETH Mainnet
Contract Address:
0x26e550ac11b26f78a04489d5f20f24e3559f7dd9
Creation Date: December 14, 2024 (17 days ago)
Current Market Cap: $76 million
24H Trading Volume: $45 million
In terms of timing, the $KEKIUS on the ETH mainnet was likely created after Musk's second mention of the term Kekius Maximus on Twitter. The token has also experienced significant volatility, with trading volume lower than that on the Solana chain. However, the community account @KekiusMaxi has remained active, and today the token price surged by about 10 times.
Summary
This "makeover" could be because Musk genuinely likes this new image, or it could be a well-known "public conspiracy," or perhaps it's just something Musk did casually.
However, as market participants, when faced with such immediate and random trends, it is crucial to discern risks and protect asset safety. After all, trends emerge daily, and the best opportunity may be just around the corner.
