Musk Magic? Floki Coin Spikes After Tesla CEO Posts AI Clip of His Dog
FLOKI, the meme coin inspired by Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu, staged a sharp rally on Monday, surging more than 27%, according to CoinGecko data. The sudden spike came shortly after the Tesla CEO shared an AI-generated video featuring his famously named dog, reigniting interest in the Viking-themed token.
Musk’s Dog Goes Corporate in AI Fantasy
The viral video, created using xAI’s Grok Imagine model, shows Musk’s Shiba Inu dressed in business attire, rocking human-style sunglasses while seated in a luxurious executive chair. The dog appears to be running the X social media platform from a sleek, high-rise office — a tongue-in-cheek nod to Musk’s leadership and love for eccentric humor.
Musk captioned the post with a playful remark, joking that his four-legged friend is now “back on the job.”
A Throwback to Floki’s Origins
The connection between Musk and FLOKI dates back to 2021, when the billionaire tweeted that he would name his Shiba Inu “Floki.” That post served as the catalyst for the creation of the Floki meme coin, which quickly gained traction thanks to high-profile endorsements and a series of bold (and at times, controversial) marketing moves.
Musk’s latest post has breathed fresh life into the Floki Vikings community, triggering a quick price pump.
Temporary Boost or Trend Revival?
While this Musk-driven rally has reignited buzz, history suggests such spikes are often short-lived. Still, it marks yet another example of how Elon Musk’s social media activity continues to wield undeniable influence over meme coin markets.
