The squirrel is dead, but the meme coin named after him is still on the moon.
The data shows that Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called customer list and price spike came after a late-night post that slammed U.S. authorities for euthanasia on U.S. authorities while failing to charge anyone for anyone’s fees.
(The “Epstein List” refers to the high-profile persons allegedly associated with Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network. There is no official, verified public list.)
“The government was severely damaged,” Musk wrote. “They arrested (and killed) peanuts, but did not even attempt to file charges against anyone on Epstein’s client list.”
Within minutes, Solana-based Meme Token Pnut soared over 10% as traders piled up in names.
According to Coingecko, Pnut has nothing to do with actual squirrels or musk, with trading volumes exceeding 120% to $214 million in 24 hours. Before cooling, the token price briefly hit 23 cents.
Without protocols, no utilities, no roadmap, Pnut is purely done on cultural resonance and reflective guesswork. This makes it a favorite of momentum hunters and a symbol of attention when touring on controversial topics – at least on Musk’s X.
