Elon Musk’s Father to Launch ‘Musk It’ Meme Coin With $200M Fundraising

Errol Musk, father of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has announced plans to launch a meme coin named “Musk It,” aiming to raise between $150 million and $200 million. The meme coin, which often lacks intrinsic value and is driven by online hype, has seen a surge in popularity. “Musk It” comes amid a flurry of controversial meme coins over the past several weeks, raising concerns within the crypto industry and beyond.

While Elon Musk has frequently influenced crypto markets, particularly Dogecoin (DOGE), he has never officially launched a token of his own. However, according to Fortune, his father, Errol Musk, believes his meme coin could be a game-changer.

Errol Musk and his business partner, Nathan Browne, intend to use the funds from the Musk It project to support the newly established Musk Institute, a for-profit think tank focused on scientific innovation. While Errol Musk claims his initiative is independent of his son, many investors will likely associate the token with the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

“If the Musk family is involved, you know it’s going to be a RIDE,” one user on X quipped.

A Middle Eastern-based crypto company originally launched the token in December. However, it failed to gain traction until Errol Musk publicly endorsed it, insisting it is not a “pump-and-dump” scheme. Nevertheless, the lack of transparency has raised concerns, with little information about the Musk It meme coin’s structure.

This is unlike most cryptocurrency projects, which release detailed tokenomics explaining funding allocation and distribution. Notwithstanding, data on CoinGecko shows Musk It meme coin’s market capitalization approaching $27 million as of this writing.
