> The catchphrase "Kekius Maximus", used in a way similar to "LOL" to react to something funny, is a portmanteau of "kek" and an Ancient Roman name such as Flavius Maximus. "Kek" originated as a translation of the acronym "LOL" when written by members of the Horde faction in World of Warcraft and became a popular alternative to "lol" in late 2000s and early 2010s, primarily on 4chan. Kekius Maximus likely references Maximus Decimus Meridius, the main character in Ridley Scott's film Gladiator, and has been associated with imagery of gladiators and soldiers of the Ancient Rome.
> On December 31st, 2024, Musk set "Kekius Maximus" as his username on X,[5][6] changing his profile picture to an AI-generated image of Pepe the Frog wearing Ancient Roman armor and holding a video game controller in its hands (shown below).
> In the following hours, Musk and his alleged sock puppet account Adrian Dittmann made more posts mentioning the catchphrase, with multiple accounts that commonly interact with Musk on X also making posts about it.
