The pride of meme coins, FLOKI (FLOKI), surged sharply higher earlier this Monday after Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted an AI-generated video of his Shiba Inu dog. According to CoinGecko data, the token is currently up by more than 27%.
The centibillionaire humorously remarked that his four-legged companion is now “back on the job.” The AI video, created with the help of xAI’s Grok Imagine model, shows the dog wearing human-style sunglasses and business attire while seated in a luxurious executive chair. This canine “CEO” appears to be running the X social media network from a high-rise office with large windows.
### How Musk Inspired FLOKI
Back in 2021, Musk tweeted that he would name his Shiba Inu dog “Floki.” This tweet inspired the creation of the eponymous meme coin, which generated significant buzz thanks to its various partnerships—some of which sparked controversy.
Musk’s latest social media post has given “Floki Vikings,” the community supporting the coin, a much-needed boost. However, such rallies are often short-lived, as price pumps driven by the billionaire’s influence typically experience quick spikes followed by corrections.
Stay tuned to see how FLOKI performs in the coming days amid the ongoing hype.
