Musk renamed his account in X to "Emperor Kekius Maximus"

On May 17, the head of the US Department of Public Efficiency (DOGE) and entrepreneur Elon Musk changed the name of his account on the social network X (former. Twitter) on "Emperor Kekius Maximus".

In addition, he posted a new profile photo, where he is depicted in imperial armor.

A review of Musk's posts and reposts on X since the beginning of 2024, prepared by Reuters, showed that the entrepreneur turned his attention to Europe after helping US President Donald Trump retake the White House in November by donating more than a quarter of a billion dollars to the campaign.
