Elon Musk's Influence on Meme Coins Amid Trump Rally Tour

Wednesday. October 30 at 12:00 AM

Twitter owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's involvement in Donald Trump's campaign tour has sparked a surge in meme coins. The micro-cap Solana token, launched through Pump.fun, saw a remarkable 10,000% spike, while other Musk-inspired tokens also experienced significant gains. Musk's appearances alongside Trump have fueled speculation about his potential role in the Department of Governmental Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) if Trump secures a second term. Dogecoin, with a ticker symbol identical to D.O.G.E., has seen a 20% increase in the past week and a 33% rise in the last month, reaching a five-month high of $0.17. Musk-inspired tokens, including Dogelon Mars (ELON) and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have shown positive growth. Musk's endorsement of the Solana meme coin Toad led to a massive 10,000% surge in market cap, although it later stabilized at a higher value. Despite Musk's influence, the meme coin market continues to evolve, with various coins experiencing notable gains even without direct ties to Musk.

Tuesday. October 29 at 10:30 PM

The creator of the AI-driven X account Truth Terminal was reportedly hacked to endorse a fake memecoin, resulting in a theft of over $600,000. On Oct. 29, Ayrey's X account posted about the launch of the Infinite Backrooms (IB) token, leading to a $25 million valuation.

Despite the deletion of the tweet, Ayrey's account remained compromised, with hackers promoting new memecoins.
