Elon Musk changed his X profile name to “Kekius Maximus” on January 1, 2025, sparking widespread speculation.
His new avatar features Pepe the Frog in gladiator armor, a nod to the character’s controversial history and the “Gladiator” movie. Musk teased the change with a post about reaching level 80 in “Path of Exile 2,” and the name is also associated with a cryptocurrency meme, which saw a 900% increase in value.
Some speculate it could be linked to a burner account, possibly related to Musk’s connection with the account “Adrian Dittmann.” Musk has denied this claim but has interacted with posts mentioning the name.
