Driven by Musk's post, the veteran meme coin gork surged over 520% intraday.
ChainCatcher news, influenced by Musk's post stating "Gork returns today," the Solana ecosystem meme coin gork experienced a short-term surge early this morning. Its market cap soared from less than $1 million to as high as $14 million, before sharply retreating and is currently reported at around $6 million. The token's 24-hour increase reached 520%, with trading volume during the same period hitting $20.9 million. As of now, the token has been live for about 301 days.
Reportedly, this meme coin originated from an account on the X platform imitating xAI Grok, named "gork" (X: gork), which currently has 349,000 followers. In May 2025, the account went viral after Musk changed his X nickname to "Gorklon Rust" and used a Gork-themed avatar, causing the Solana-based meme coin gork's market cap to surge above $130 million. In addition, this account on X has not posted any tweets since November 18 last year until today.
