Gork Memecoins Surge 7,000% Following Elon Musk’s Latest X Handle Change

Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand his X profile as "gorklon rust" ignited a frenzied rally in Gork-themed memecoins, with some tokens soaring as much as 7,000% within hours. The market reaction underscores the outsized influence Musk wields over speculative crypto assets, even when the underlying joke remains opaque to most participants.
Dozens of newly minted Gork tokens experienced extreme volatility—many collapsing or falling victim to rug pulls shortly after their parabolic rises. The episode mirrors previous memecoin manias triggered by Musk’s social media activity, demonstrating how quickly capital floods into narratives with even tenuous connections to the billionaire.
