Tesla CEO Elon Musk pretty recently stirred a huge curiosity and speculation after changing his profile name on X (formerly known as Twitter) to ‘Kekius Maximus’ alongside a new avatar which features Pepe the Frog dressed in gladiator armor, reported New York Post.

According to New York Post, this change has eventually prompted various interpretations while some observers are suggesting that the name combines elements of the meme character Pepe and Russell Crowe's character from the film ‘Gladiator’. The profile image of Tesla CEO Elon Musk shows Pepe holding a video game controller while hinting at a connection to gaming culture.

Elon Musk actually teased the name change by referencing the popular game ‘Path of Exile 2’ while stating that ‘Kekius Maximus will soon reach level 80 in hardcore PoE’, asserted New York Post. Adding onto that, ‘Kekius Maximus’ is also the name of a memecoin which eventually saw its value surge by over 900% following the name change by Tesla CEO Elon Musk although it still remains unclear if he has any direct involvement with this cryptocurrency.


Numerous speculations have also arisen regarding the alleged burner account of Tesla CEO Elon Musk under the name Adrian Dittmann which appears to praise him, noted New York Post. Elon Musk, on the other hand, has denied all these claims but further fueled the mystery by retweeting a post from the Adrian Dittmann account that mentioned his new moniker.
