Elon Musk Sparks Meme Token Hype by Changing His Username on X.

On February 11, Musk changed his X username to Harry Bōlz, triggering a frenzy around meme coins with the same name.

📊 Market Reaction:

  • The HARRYBOLZ token on Solana skyrocketed from $0.00006 to $0.025, but crashed 94% after Musk reverted to his real name.
  • At its peak, the token’s market cap hit $25 million, with a $44 million trading volume.

👑 Big Players Made Millions:

  • A wallet labeled LeBron bought 28.8 million HARRYBOLZ for 25 SOL (~$4,900).
  • Later, it sold 109.9 million tokens for 3,649 SOL (~$737,000), profiting around $1 million.
  • The same address previously earned $8.9 million from MELANIA and $3.2 million from TRUMP tokens.

🎭 Musk and His “Username Games”

  • In April 2023, he had already used Harry Bōlz.
  • In December 2024, he changed his name to Kekius Maximus, featuring Pepe the Frog in Roman armor.

Meme tokens remain one of the most profitable trends, but their extreme volatility makes them a high-risk zone. 🚀
