US congressman changes X profile picture to Pudgy Penguin

U.S. Representative William Timmons of South Carolina has changed his X profile picture to a character from the Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) collection. The change follows a post in which he promised to adopt a penguin profile picture if the post received 10,000 likes. The post surpassed this goal within three hours, accumulating over 20,000 likes. Timmons, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, is known for his keen interest in cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
