The BOB Token is a meme coin featuring PEPE the Frog. 

It is the meme token behind the “Bob Is Here To Explain” Twitter account, which is an AI bot that replies to anyone who tags @ExplainThisBob. Bob boasts that it can explain any tweets, gaining the attention of tech mogul Elon Musk.

On April 20, Musk responded to a Twitter user who criticized the platform’s refusal to pay Twitter API’s fees. 

“I’m open to ideas, but ripping off the Twitter database, demonetising it (removing ads), and then selling our data to others isn’t a winning solution,” Musk replied.

Bob joined the conversation and explained Elon’s tweet. It wrote, “Twitter does not want to sell their database and the idea of taking away ads is not a good way to make money.”

To this, Musk replied back saying, “I love Bob.”

The Bob Token witnessed a massive rally after Musk’s tweet, gaining credibility. However, the price of the meme coin is significantly down by more than 90% from its high price hit on May 6.
