Elon Musk Strikes PEPE Community With Unexpected Hot Tweet
In a shocking move, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has once again taken to Twitter to make waves in the cryptocurrency and meme coin communities. The latest hot tweet has left many stunned, as he announced that his AI chatbot, Grok, has been used to generate Pepe the Frog images.
The unexpected post came with the statement “Grok is BasedGPT” https://t.co/DmJx2sOifS — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 11, 2024
This tweet not only surprised many but also caused a significant surge in the value of PEPE, a meme cryptocurrency.
Musk’s initial Pepe post on Monday sparked a wave of activity, as he retweeted an image of Pepe the Frog in an ancient Roman general’s attire. This image was called “Kekius Maximus,” with obvious references to Ridley Scott’s 2000 film “Gladiator” and its sequel released in 2024.
The tweet coincided with PEPE’s value increasing by roughly 14%, indicating a strong correlation between Musk’s actions and the meme cryptocurrency’s price movement. It is essential to note that this has become a common trend, as his interactions have been observed to have a significant impact on various cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin (DOGE).
In addition to his initial post, Elon Musk also posted other Pepe the Frog images generated by Grok and designed by xAI, his AI research startup.
