The world of cryptocurrency is no stranger to the unexpected, and now it’s taken another surprising turn. Under Donald Trump
But now, it’s Errol Musk – father of Tesla CEO elon musk
Following in the footsteps of U.S. President Donald Trump, who both capitalized on meme coins, Errol Musk aims to raise between $150 million and $200 million through his crypto project. Although he wasn’t directly involved in creating the token, Errol has publicly backed “Musk It,” a project launched by a Middle Eastern crypto company in December.
In an interview with Fortune, Errol Musk said he had no problem using his well-known surname to support the token. After a slow start following its December launch, Errol and his business partner, Nathan Browne, chose to endorse the token, assuring people that their involvement wasn’t part of a “pump and dump” scheme.
Errol claims to have recently spoken to Elon about the project, but representatives for both Elon and his brother Kimbal Musk have stayed silent. Neither Elon nor Kimbal is involved in the venture.
This could further strain Errol’s already complicated relationship with his son Elon. With more and more tokens being linked to famous names, concerns are growing about how these projects could disrupt the market, especially for well-known cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin (DOGE) and PEPE.
Memecoins, often lacking real use or regulation, are seen as risky and can lead to sudden losses. A recent surge in Trump-themed coins followed by a crash left investors questioning their value—especially after Trump distanced himself from the coins.
“Musk It” Lacks Clear Vision and Structure
There’s still limited information about the “Musk It” token, and many investors are unclear about its financial setup or long-term goals. Although there are rumors that the token is linked to Elon Musk, Errol insists he isn’t using his son’s name for personal gain, stating that success isn’t just tied to Elon.
A proposed class-action lawsuit claims that all tokens on the Pump.fun platform—including “Musk It”—are “unregistered security memecoins.” With nearly $500 million raised by the platform, this lawsuit highlights growing concerns about how speculative tokens could disrupt the market and create uncertainty for established projects like DOGE and PEPE.
