If i am Elon Musk, i wouldn't create meme coins. Will take advantage as influencer and owner of big company to create coins that can have correlation with his product. Or maybe buying something from him, create many merchandise that accept his coin as payment, or maybe to be company that can help people pay something around the world with his coin. Because with his power and money, it can be realized.
Well, I think almost all person will have same though with you including me he was an public figure and his word can do anything but it's becoming double-edged sword to for him, He have the power but the gov and regulator will observe him strictly especially when he creating any coin/token also building the community was really hard and one mistake can ruin that so i suppose musk just want to be safe to not creating any coin or maybe he just too rich to do that, Not sure too hahaha.
