Biden's Token Takedown: LAPTOP Crashes and Musk's Response
On September 9, 2026, Hunter Biden launched a memecoin called LAPTOP on the Base blockchain. The token rapidly rose in price, exceeding $200 within its first few minutes, but this surge was short-lived.
The price crash sparked discussions beyond the token's economic performance, including the X account of the LAPTOP project being suspended without explanation from X.
Hunter Biden directly addressed Elon Musk via X, asking him to lift the ban on his LAPTOP account and referencing warnings about AI's potential threat by 2030. However, there is no verified evidence that Musk has supported or taken action to increase the price of LAPTOP.
