Elon Musk has once again caused a stir, renaming himself ‘Kekius Maximus’ on X, his social media platform. The move, accompanied by a profile image of Pepe the Frog in Roman military attire, has sparked intrigue and speculation. The name ‘Kekius’ references a meme tied to gaming and far-right groups, while ‘Maximus’ is likely a nod to the Gladiator film.
