Affected by Musk's post, the classic meme coin gork surged over 520% in a day
Affected by Musk's post stating "Gork returns today," the Solana ecosystem's namesake Meme coin gork experienced a brief surge early this morning. Its market cap skyrocketed from less than $1 million to $14 million, before significantly retreating to approximately $6 million. The token saw a 24-hour increase of 520%, with a trading volume of $20.9 million during the same period. As of now, the token has been online for about 301 days.
It is reported that this Meme coin originated from an account on the X platform that imitates xAI Grok, named "gork" (X: gork), which currently has 349,000 followers. In May 2025, this account gained popularity when Musk changed the X nickname to "Gorklon Rust" and used a Gork-themed avatar, causing the Solana chain's namesake Meme coin gork to see its market cap rise to over $130 million. Additionally, the account on X has not posted any tweets since November 18, 2022, up to today. ChainCatcher reminds users that Meme coin trading is highly volatile, largely relying on market sentiment and conceptual hype, and has no actual value or use case, so investors should be aware of the risks.
