Elon Musk Accidentally Turns Gork Into Your New Get-Rich-Quick Scheme (Or Trash Fire?)

by

If you’ve ever wondered whether a billionaire can make an entire currency go bananas with a single typo-riddled tweet, look no further than Elon Musk, who’s basically crypto’s version of that aunt who “just discovered texting.” One late night (because bedtime is for people with fewer rocket companies), Musk slid into X and dropped, “sup @gork changed my pp to urs wdyt”—a phrase that probably means something to someone, somewhere, but to the rest of us, reads like he’d been hitting the NyQuil and memes a bit too hard. Five seconds later, his profile pic was rocking *Gork*, a memecoin apparently invented solely to see how many people will invest in a coin named after the sound you make when you swallow wrong. 🚀🐸

Prices exploded—as in, the kind of explosion that makes you wish you bought yesterday or had any clue what a wallet address is. Gork shot up over 70% to almost seven cents, which is basically a down payment on a stick of gum. Current stats: up 43.29% in 24 hours, flexing a $65.64 million market cap, and racked up more than $200 million in trading volume—because who needs sleep or responsible decisions when you can YOLO?

The story does not end there, because of course it doesn’t.

The moment Musk blinked, the Gork multiverse began spawning copycats on pump.fun faster than you can say “SEC investigation.” Let’s call it natural selection, if natural selection were about creating the coin equivalent of knockoff handbags from a sketchy market stall.

Most had a market cap best described as “couch cushion money”—one even clocked in at a whopping $4,000, which is exactly how much you lose if you sneeze while holding your phone in the checkout line. But, some “winners” did poke their heads out:

  • Gork Musk (GM) – Born 21 minutes ago, currently worth $45,195, or the price of a bad used Tesla
  • Gorilla On Retarded Kangaroo (GORK) – Created roughly an hour ago, sitting at $5,374, give or take a kangaroo

Proving, once again, that naming conventions in crypto are just a random Scrabble draw away from a Dr. Seuss fever dream.

People are piling in, because who wouldn’t want to own Gork? It’s only slightly less risky than diving into a pool full of toasters. The memecoin market waits for no one, and your gains may vanish faster than Elon’s next impulse tweet. Good luck, future Gorkillionaires. 🤑🍀
