Elon Musk Sets Meme Coin Communities on Fire with PEPE Tweet but Here’s Catch
Elon Musk has sparked a frenzy in the meme coin community by posting a tweet featuring an image of Pepe the Frog, the mascot for the PEPE cryptocurrency. The move comes as quite unexpected from the billionaire entrepreneur, who has been involved in various projects and ventures throughout his career.
The tweet gained immediate attention on social media platforms, with fans of various meme coins starting to post their own coins’ mascots. This included a WIFaccount posting a PEPE image, along with Kraken exchange’s mascot. Meanwhile, an individual requested an explanation of the tweet from AI chatbot Grok, suggesting that Musk was reacting to the explosion of SpaceX’s Starship 36 on the test site near Boca Chica Beach in Texas earlier this week.
However, Musk didn’t stop at just posting a meme image. He also shared his thoughts on the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on humanity. In an interview with YC’s AI Startup School, Musk expressed his belief that unless AI destroys humanity or itself, it will likely boost the economy 1,000-fold from what it is today.
He emphasized that this would be possible if humanity achieves a Kardashev Type II civilization, which means drawing energy for its needs from an entire star. Musk added that AI will have no difficulty outsmarting humans as they currently use simple four-digit passwords or those related to their birthdays.
The tweet and AI prediction sparked excitement in the meme coin community and also raised concerns about the potential risks associated with the rapid advancement of AI technology.
