Mog Meme Coin Skyrockets as Elon Musk Leads 'Mog/Acc' Tech Bro Embrace
Elon Musk and other tech figures have embraced Mog Coin (MOG), a meme coin linked to the slang term "mogging," which signifies effortless domination. Following Musk's profile picture change to include Pit Viper sunglasses, other tech leaders like Garry Tan and Bryan Johnson joined the trend, promoting the coin's viral branding. The movement, termed "mog/acc," aligns with the effective accelerationism philosophy. Despite speculation of behind-the-scenes lobbying, Mog Coin representatives stated the trend was organic. Launched in 2023, Mog Coin evolved from a joke among NFT community members, adopting a mascot and branding centered around "effortless cosmic domination." The Pit Viper brand began engaging with the community amid the trend, offering discounts and interacting on social media. Meanwhile, Pit Viper's CEO promoted a separate token, Pitcoin, which faced significant market volatility, leading to confusion within the crypto community.
