Elon Musk has once again sent shockwaves through the crypto community by altering his X (formerly Twitter) display name to "Gorklon Rust." The change, which appears to blend references to his AI chatbot Grok, the concept of cloning, and the Rust programming language used by his xAI venture, triggered an immediate market reaction—with select cryptocurrencies surging nearly 10% within hours.
The billionaire entrepreneur simultaneously updated his profile picture to depict the character "Gork," accompanied by a cryptic tweet: "sup @gork changed my pp to urs wdyt." Musk’s influence on digital asset markets remains unparalleled, as even minor personal branding shifts routinely catalyze volatility across exchanges.
