ChainCatcher reports that following Elon Musk’s tweet stating “Gork returns today,” the Solana-based meme coin named Gork experienced a brief surge early this morning. Its market cap soared from less than $1 million to $14 million before sharply falling back, currently around $6 million. The token’s 24-hour increase reached 520%, with a trading volume of $20.9 million. As of now, the token has been listed for approximately 301 days.
According to reports, this meme coin originated from an account on X (formerly Twitter) called “gork” (X: gork), which mimics xAI Grok and has 349,000 followers. In May 2025, the account gained popularity after Elon Musk changed his X nickname to “Gorklon Rust” and used a Gork-themed avatar. The same-named Gork meme coin on the Solana blockchain temporarily increased in market cap by over $130 million. Additionally, the account has not posted any tweets since November 18 of last year. ChainCatcher reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, often driven by market sentiment and hype, with no intrinsic value or utility, so investors should be cautious of risks.
