š VINE Soars 60% Overnight as Elon Musk Drops Bombshell AI Video App Teaser
Elon Musk strikes againāthis time sending VINE's valuation into the stratosphere with a single cryptic tweet about an AI-powered video platform. The token ripped past resistance levels like a SpaceX rocket, leaving bagholders of legacy social media coins in the dust.
Wall Street analysts are already calling it 'the TikTok killer'āthough let's be real, they also said that about every Web3 project that mooned and then cratered last cycle.
Musk's track record with X (formerly Twitter) suggests this could either revolutionize content creation... or become another overhyped playground for crypto influencers. Either way, the market's voting with its walletāfor now.
Elon Musk Teases Vine Resurrection
Itās no secret that Elon Musk, the worldās richest man, has an outsized influence on the meme coin sector. His posts have routinely boosted scores of new tokens, and heās even launched his own assets.
Today, Muskās social media activity had another unintended boost, as VINE shot up more than 60% after a related post:
Weāre bringing back Vine, but in AI form
ā Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 24, 2025VINE was created this year by Rus Yusupov, founder of the now-defunct video platform. Vine was a beloved 2010s pioneer in short-form video content, and nostalgia for this era turned VINE into a top-performing meme coin.
Musk alluded to this strong brand by name-dropping Vine, and the meme coin rallied in response:
However, itās unclear if this Musk association will bring long-term benefits to VINE. The key question is whether or not xAI plans to explicitly incorporate Vineās branding or team members into a hypothetical new project.
Yusupov shared Muskās post and teased a possible connection, but nobody has explicitly confirmed a partnership.
Essentially, itās easy to imagine what Elon Musk is going for with his Vine allusion. A short-form video app, but with the content generated by AI instead of direct user creation.
Since Vine was shuttered nearly a decade ago, xAI might not necessarily require Yusupovās direct involvement. If this happens, VINEās boost might prove temporary.
Moreover, even if Vine and Elon Musk do partner up, theyāll have their work cut out for them. TikTok has led a race in short-form video content, with firms like Meta and Google launching their own competitors.
The marketās much more established than in Vineās heyday. xAI would be the first major firm to put AI as a centerpiece for this type of app, but itāll still be a latecomer.
In other words, a lot of things are up in the air. For now, the meme coin trading scene is awash with HYPE and speculation about Elon Musk resurrecting Vine.
As we wait for new announcements in the coming days, community interest could keep VINE relevant for the NEAR future.
