Musk's Gladiator Stunt Sends PEPE Army Into Frenzy, Coin Pumps 14%

Tech billionaire and self-appointed meme king Elon Musk has done it again - whipping crypto markets into a frenzy with nothing more than a tweet. This time, his target is the PEPE community, who are practically foaming at the mouth after his latest social media stunt.

I nearly spat out my coffee when I saw Musk’s retweet of that ridiculous “Kekius Maximus” image showing Pepe the Frog dressed like some Roman general in the Coliseum. “Amazing 🤩,” he wrote - and just like that, the price jumped 14% in 24 hours. It’s absolutely mental how this guy can move markets with such nonsense.

The bootlickers were quick to respond with their AI-generated images showing Musk himself as some kind of Roman hero. Give me a break! The sycophancy is nauseating, especially all those references to his new government role with that forced D.O.G.E acronym. Could he be any more transparent with his market manipulation?

What really makes me roll my eyes is how these meme coin investors fall for it every single time. You’ve got whales scooping up 326.3 billion PEPE tokens alongside massive SHIB and NEIRO purchases - all because Musk posted some silly Gladiator reference? The same whale made $9 million dumping SHIB earlier this year, and now they’re loading up again. It’s like watching sheep being led to slaughter.

Meanwhile, some commenters actually tried pointing out the obvious - “you need glasses? the part is down 15%” wrote one person, calling out the article’s misleading claims. At least someone’s paying attention!

This whole circus shows exactly what’s wrong with crypto right now. When one man’s tweets cause such wild price swings, you’re not looking at legitimate investment vehicles - you’re watching a casino where the house always wins. And guess who’s the house? Not the average investor, that’s for sure.

PEPE price is “changing hands” at $0.00002459 after what they call a “small downward rebound.” I call it the beginning of the inevitable crash after yet another Musk-triggered pump.
