Following Musk's tweet "Gork returns today," the established Meme coin gork experienced an intraday surge of over 520%.

BlockBeats News, February 26th, according to GMGN Monitoring, influenced by Musk's tweet stating "Gork returns today," the Solana ecosystem's namesake meme coin gork experienced a short-term surge early this morning. Its market cap skyrocketed from less than $1 million to $14 million at one point, then dropped significantly, currently standing at around $6 million. The token saw a 520% price increase in 24 hours, 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 Platform X that mimicked xAI Grok, named "gork" (X: gork), currently with 349,000 followers. In May 2025, the account went viral when Musk changed his X nickname to "Gorklon Rust" and used a Gork-themed avatar, causing the Solana on-chain namesake meme coin gork to surge to a market cap of over $130 million. Additionally, this account on Platform X has not posted any tweets since November 18th of last year.

BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, heavily relying on market sentiment and speculative hype, with no real value or use case. Investors should be aware of the risks.
