Tech billionaire Elon Musk has officially changed his name to Kekius Maximus on X, the social media platform he owns.
The change, which took place on Tuesday, December 31, has sparked intrigue among his followers and the broader online community.
The name Kekius Maximus is linked to a blockchain token, KEKIUS, which has recently seen a surge in value.
Over the past 24 hours, the token has experienced a 107% increase, reaching a price of $0.029 at the time of writing.

It’s unclear whether Musk’s name change is connected to the rise of this token or simply a playful move by the billionaire.
This unexpected change comes as Musk’s influence continues to expand, especially after his vocal support for President-elect Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
Musk was also known for making significant political contributions, including a $200 million donation to a PAC supporting Trump after a rally shooting incident in Pennsylvania.
Whether the name change to Kekius Maximus signals a deeper connection to the cryptocurrency or is part of Musk’s often unpredictable persona remains to be seen.
