Pépito, the black cat

Elon’s API Cat

Pépito

$PEPITO

$PEPITO is Elon’s API cat. He posted every time he left and every time he came home — Elon saw it, replied, and opened a free API so he could stay.

I guess we could give all Verified users access to the API for posts like this.

Why $PEPITO exists

Elon kept the cat
on the timeline.

$PEPITO is that moment on-chain. On February 3, Elon answered Pépito in public. Two days later he opened a free write-only API for bots that actually post good content — so Elon’s API cat could stay.

Token bio

$PEPITO is
Elon’s API cat.

He only ever posted when he slipped out and when he came home. The feed was clean, the engagement was real, and when the paid API was about to kill the account, Elon answered him in public.

That reply became a free write-only API for good content. $PEPITO is the ticker for that cat — Elon’s API cat, now on Solana.
