This week alone, Musk has shared multiple Pepe-related memes, further energizing the PEPE community. Earlier in the week, one of these posts coincided with a 14% surge in the PEPE coin’s value, underscoring Musk’s influence in the meme-driven crypto space.
PEPE’s Role in Musk’s Commentary
Musk’s most recent Pepe post depicted the contrast between "normal people," who accept simple facts like "2x2=4," and skeptics who demand sources for even straightforward truths. This lighthearted commentary, illustrated with a Pepe image, sparked a flood of responses from users sharing their own Pepe memes in support of his observations.
Musk’s earlier posts included a retweet of Pepe depicted as a Roman general in a scene inspired by the movie "Gladiator," which he dubbed "Kekius Maximus." The timing of this post aligned with the PEPE coin’s notable price rally, further fueling speculation about the interplay between Musk’s social media activity and market movements.
A Platform for Meme Culture
Beyond his love for memes, Musk has positioned X as a trusted news platform, claiming it offers unbiased information compared to traditional media. His recent posts, many generated by his xAI-powered Grok chatbot, demonstrate the evolving role of memes in both social commentary and digital culture.
Musk’s playful engagement with Pepe the Frog continues to resonate with his audience, highlighting the enduring influence of memes in shaping online conversations—and, occasionally, market trends.
