New Token: ELONREAPER, Musk Becomes the "Regulation Reaper" Sweeping Away Bureaucracy

According to ME News, on December 9 (UTC+8), Trend News monitoring reported that the well-known crypto KOL @cb_doge recently released a viral meme featuring Elon Musk depicted as a grim reaper holding a scythe with a sinister smile. In the image, Musk slashes open a door labeled “Bureaucracy” with US/EU flags, accompanied by a satirical version of the Oppenheimer quote: “I am become Meme, Destroyer of Bureaucracy,” implying the use of memes as weapons to eliminate red tape. The meme quickly went viral with widespread sharing and reposts.

The timing of the meme’s release was spot-on; earlier this month, international media confirmed the early dissolution of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a reform agency that once claimed to drastically cut $2T federal spending, marking a rapid end to its efforts. Meanwhile, recent EU fines have also drawn widespread criticism. The meme satirizes the “all talk, no action” fate of such reforms and has become an emotional outlet for anti-bureaucracy groups.

Tokens themed around the regulator grim reaper, such as $ELONREAPER , also responded on-chain, with 15 same-name tokens reaching a trading volume of 230k within one hour. (Source: ME)
