Musk and Garry Tan Promote MOG Coin and the "mog/acc" Cultural Trend

PANews reported on May 7 that according to CoinDesk, the $MOG token based on Ethereum and Base chains is sparking a cultural trend among tech elites. This token combines "mogging" (an internet slang meaning to become stronger and faster) and "accelerationism," forming a unique "mog/acc" cultural movement. Opinion leaders like Y Combinator founder Garry Tan and Musk wear iconic Pit Vipers colorful sunglasses, driving the token's 11% increase this week and over 130% monthly gain.

The philosophy of accelerationism advocates pushing technological change at all costs. Mog/acc transforms this into a viral visual symbol through meme culture. Solana ecosystem projects such as Raydium and Jupiter have also joined the movement, changing their official avatars to cats or mascots wearing Pit Vipers. Some developers have even created bots that automatically generate mog/acc-style avatars, quickly gaining popularity.

This sharply contrasts with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin's 2023 proposal of "defensive accelerationism" (d/acc), which emphasizes that technological development should avoid greedy paths. Mog/acc strips away theoretical shells and uses memes to build internet-native identities. Analysts point out that this method of turning abstract philosophy into wearable symbols replicates the dissemination trajectory of Dogecoin's "Shiba Inu spirit" years ago.
