Elon Musk’s ‘Harry Bolz’ Name Change Sparks Over 200 New Memecoins

Elon Musk’s ‘Harry Bolz’ name change on X triggered over 200 memecoins on Solana, skyrocketing 17,000%, but none of them are officially endorsed.


Elon Musk did it again—he changed his X username to “Harry Bolz,” and the crypto world went wild. Within minutes, over 200 new memecoins popped up on the Solana blockchain, all riding the hype train. These tokens launched on Pump.Fun, but let’s be real—none of them are officially backed by Musk.

Musk’s bizarre name change on Tuesday afternoon got X users buzzing. “Harry Bolz” (which sounds hilariously close to hairy balls) isn’t even new—he pulled this stunt back about 3 years ago too. But this time, the crypto crowd wasted no time capitalizing on it.

One of the first “Harry Bolz” memecoins skyrocketed 17,000% within 30 minutes, pushing its market cap to $3.68 million. However, a quick look at Pump.Fun shows hundreds more flooding in, hoping to cash in before the joke fades.

As usual, Musk hasn’t said a word about why he changed his name or if he even knows about the tokens. But memecoins thrive on hype and chaos, so this was bound to happen. Just a reminder—most memecoins have zero utility, and their prices are pure speculation.
