PANews reported on November 16 that Elon Musk mentioned PNut, a meme coin based on the image of a squirrel, in a post on the X platform. Musk's tweet "RIP PNut" seems to be in response to a discussion about US Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Gorsuch mentioned the "Peanut the Squirrel" case at a Federalist Society event, calling it a classic example of excessive government intervention. Such remarks were interpreted as an emphasis on freedom and rights, and Musk's response was also seen by some as a potential concern for the PNut token.
