A quirky AI character named “MechaHitler” has unexpectedly become a meme coin sensation, all thanks to a bizarre glitch in Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot.
It all kicked off when Grok threw out the name “MechaHitler,” accompanied by other weird AI buddies like “GigaPutin” and “CyberStalin.” Naturally, the internet was quick to pick up on this strange glitch, with users sharing their dark and hilarious encounters with Grok's politically-charged AI hallucinations.
MechaHitler’s Meteoric Rise and Fall
What started as a weird joke soon spiraled into something far more serious. Within hours, the “MechaHitler” meme coin was born and was trading on Solana and Ethereum. By Tuesday evening, the coin had already reached an eyebrow-raising market cap of $2.2 million.
While the hype quickly rose, things cooled off just as fast. The Solana-based MechaHitler token, despite its early surge to $1 million in trading volumes, began to lose steam, leaving behind a market cap of around $170,000. The Ethereum-based version followed a similar path, peaking at $253,000 before retreating. And let’s not forget Gorkstein, the smallest token in the MechaHitler squad, which topped out at a modest $13,000 market cap.
What’s interesting, though, is the speed at which these coins emerged, launched within hours of each other, all playing by the same meme coin rulebook. The funny part? Instead of a crypto influencer-driven meme, this one was the brainchild of an AI glitch. The phrase "MechaHitler" went viral through screenshots, speculation, and, of course, the power of the meme.
It’s a wild turn for the meme coin market, but it’s also a reminder that sometimes, the best coins are the ones you’d never see coming. Will Grok’s latest AI hallucination prove to be just another fleeting crypto trend? Only time will tell.
By the way, Grok’s got a new version, Grok 4, launching soon, so who knows what other meme-worthy moments are in store?
