Elon Musk briefly changed his name on X (formerly Twitter) to Harry Bōlz, causing a stir in the cryptocurrency market.

The name, which is a play on words between “hairy” and “balls,” is the same as a cryptocurrency that was launched a few hours later.

Shortly after the X CEO changed his name on the social network to Harry Bōlz, the cryptocurrency in question was launched on the PumpFun platform.

In less than 30 minutes, the memecoin saw a staggering 17,000% increase in value. The coin’s market cap reportedly reached over $11 million.
