Elon Musk has struck again. This time, he self-proclaims as "Kekius Maximus" on platform X (yes, Twitter, but hush, it’s a secret). With this pseudonym straight out of a low-budget fanfiction, the billionaire continues to push the boundaries of the absurd. But what is going on in the mind of this rocket and controversy magnate? A hilarious dive into the electronic circus where Musk is both clown and tamer.
Kekius Maximus: between gladiator, frog, and self-proclaimed genius
In the delirious universe of the Internet, "Kekius Maximus" sounds like a discount version of Maximus Decimus Meridius, the muscular hero of Gladiator. But Musk doesn’t stop there: he associates this nickname with "kek", an expression worthy of an orc teenager in World of Warcraft, and adds an image of Pepe the Frog as a gladiator. Yes, Pepe, the same one that became the official symbol of trolls and those who think plaid shirts are a formal outfit idea.
As always, Musk does nothing halfway: his whim has increased the value of an obscure cryptocurrency called "KekCoin" by 1,400%. Moral of the story? Even a virtual frog can yield more than your retirement savings plan.
The art of chaos, signed Musk
Is it a joke? A social critique? Or simply a challenge to the universe to see how far he can go without consequences? With Musk, anything is possible, except a clear explanation. Remember: this is the man who renamed Twitter "X" without anyone asking and turned messaging into a bulletin board worthy of a geek bar on a Friday night.
And what about his other antics? Musk sent a Tesla car into space (because why not?), named his son X Æ A-12 (a lost Scrabble move?), and smoked cannabis live with Joe Rogan, causing Tesla shares to drop faster than a poorly rolled cigarette.
Between Mars and memes
Musk claims to want to colonize Mars, but at this rate, one wonders if he wouldn’t prefer to become the king of interstellar memes. His latest genius idea? Neuralink, a brain chip to exchange emotions and memes directly between brains. Next step: engraving his tweets on lunar plaques, to mark the eternity of his absurdity.
The Musk dilemma: genius playing the fool
Can one be both the man revolutionizing the electric car and the one selling red satin shorts (yes, Tesla Short Shorts is real)? Musk is a bit like a wedding buffet: there’s a bit of everything, but nothing goes together. We oscillate between admiration for his ecological ambitions and dismay at his private jet always ready to take off for a "meme emergency."
And let’s not even talk about his Twitter episodes: calling a diver a "pedo guy", creating a flamethrower ("it’s not a flamethrower," of course), or promising to buy Coca-Cola to put cocaine back in it. Musk is the human equivalent of a Monty Python sketch.
Kekius Maximus: king of a laughable empire
With "Kekius Maximus", Musk doesn’t just stray into the absurd: he turns it into a spectacle. Between gladiators, frogs, and cryptocurrencies, he defies conventions and reinvents the image of the billionaire. Why aim for the moon when you can reign over a kingdom where even the ridiculous pays off big?
So, where will he stop? Perhaps never. Musk doesn’t aim for perfection; he aims for eternal surprise. And we, poor spectators, remain captivated by his antics, between bursts of laughter and disillusioned sighs. Long live Kekius Maximus, emperor of the absurd, king of memes, and tyrant of trends!
