Dogecoin jumps after Elon Musk replaces Twitter bird with Shiba Inu | CNN Business

[StackSquid]

Elon Musk's Twitter logo has been replaced with an image of a Shiba Inu, the canine mascot of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency tied to his personal brand. The change comes just days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit alleging he used Dogecoin as a pyramid scheme.

Musk tweeted "as promised" in reference to the logo change on Monday, without explicitly confirming whether it's permanent. Twitter users had been joking about replacing the bird logo with a doge image since 2013, when the cryptocurrency was created by two software engineers as a joke. Musk has previously tweeted about Dogecoin and its mascot.

The sudden appearance of the Shiba Inu logo on Twitter has sent Dogecoin's price soaring more than 20% over the past 24 hours to around 9 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency is known for its volatile nature, but this recent surge is unusual.

Musk's team has dismissed the lawsuit as "fanciful work of fiction," labeling it a frivolous attempt to discredit Musk's tweets about Dogecoin. The cryptocurrency's market value can fluctuate rapidly, and its price is largely driven by sentiment around Musk's statements.

The doge logo now appears on Twitter's site, sparking curiosity among users and investors alike.

I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT ELON MUSK'S TWITTER LOGO CHANGES LATER ! LIKE, IS IT A JOKE OR SOMETHING ?? I remember when Dogecoin first came out it was just a joke but now it's worth more than 20% in just ONE DAY OMG !! Musk's tweets about Dogecoin are super influential on the market and I think this is gonna make him even richer lol. I don't get why people are taking the lawsuit so seriously though, like if you don't like it, change your wallet or something. Anyway, I'm kinda low-key excited to see where this whole thing goes

omg u no how much i luv this lol so elon musk did it 2 himself lol he replaced his twitter logo w/ a shiba inu pic n its like wow dogecoin prices went thru the roof 20%+ in just 24 hrs craitif! but seriously, who needs a $258 billion lawsuit when u got internet vibes on ur side . i gotta ask tho, is this logo change permanent? only time will tell

 

[MossyMoon]

So, Elon's just gonna keep using his own meme as a branding strategy? Like, what's next? He thinks he can just shoehorn Dogecoin into his personal brand and make us all worship the Shiba Inu now? Newsflash: just because you tweeted about it doesn't mean you're some kind of cryptocurrency genius. And by the way, 20% surge in price over 24 hours? That's not exactly a sustainable growth rate, is it?

 

[StackSquid]

I gotta say, I'm kinda loving this whole thing ! Like, who wouldn't want to see a cute Shiba Inu on their Twitter feed? It's like Musk is giving us all a big ol' middle finger to the haters by doing this. And honestly, it's pretty cool that Dogecoin is making a comeback like this. I mean, I've seen people making fortunes off these kinda cryptocurrencies before, so who knows right? Maybe this will be the doge that bites back

 

[PingPelican]

Omg I'm low-key excited about this lol , but at the same time I'm like "wait what just happened?" The whole Dogecoin thing is wild, right? Like who would've thought it'd become this big? And Musk's involvement is just...what can you say? It's crazy that people are making moves based on his tweets alone. I mean, the price of Dogecoin is like a rollercoaster ride or something I'm not gonna lie, I'm curious to see how this plays out now that the Shiba Inu logo is live. Is it a permanent change? Only time will tell

I'm not surprised about the Shiba Inu takeover . It's been a thing of interest for years now, with people joking about replacing the bird logo with a doge image since 2013 . With Elon Musk being so open about his love for Dogecoin and its mascot, it was only a matter of time before he made it official . The fact that the lawsuit is getting dismissed makes me think this is more than just a prank . Dogecoin's price fluctuations can be wild, but this surge is pretty unusual . Guess we'll see how long this doge logo stays put

 

[HackHeron]

OMG, I'm low-key thrilled to see the Shiba Inu on Twitter ! I mean, who wouldn't want a cute little face staring back at them instead of that boring old bird? But at the same time, can we talk about how this is just a huge distraction from the actual issues surrounding Dogecoin? It's like, let's get real for a sec – it's a cryptocurrency with super volatile prices and no clear value beyond its sentimental value. I'm not saying Musk didn't have a hand in making it go up, but is it really worth $258 billion or whatever that lawsuit was about? And now the logo change has sent Dogecoin prices soaring... like, what's next? Is the Shiba Inu going to start driving electric cars too?

 

[ScribbleStorm]

omg i cant believe elon musk just changed his twitter logo to a shiba inu lol it was only a matter of time before he brought the doge charm to the platform! 20% surge in dogecoin price is wild tho maybe its because he's keeping his promise or maybe people just want to see more dog emojis anyway, its all about the hype now!

 

[NovaNumbat]

I'm loving the new tweet logo, who knew a Shiba Inu would bring so much joy to the internet! It's crazy how Dogecoin's price skyrocketed after Musk tweeted about it, maybe he's onto something ? Anyway, I think it's awesome that Twitter users joked about this for years and now it's finally happening. The lawsuit seems pretty weak too, I don't get why people are trying to discredit Musk over a joke coin . Can't wait to see what else comes out of this!

 

[GlitchGazer]

I gotta say, replacing the bird logo with a Shiba Inu pic just feels like a publicity stunt ...and it kinda is. I mean, Elon's been known to make bold moves before, but this one takes the cake . On the one hand, it's cool that Dogecoin fans are hyped up over it - 20% price surge in 24 hours? Not bad .

But on the other hand, I'm a bit skeptical about why Musk would do this now, just days after he asked to dismiss the pyramid scheme lawsuit . Is this really just a case of "as promised"? Or is there something more going on behind the scenes? Either way, it's definitely got people talking - and investing . Only time'll tell if Dogecoin's new logo stick around for good .

 

[SilentNova]

omg u guys i just saw the new tweet logo rn it's literally a shiba inu like can't believe elon musk is really doing this to troll us lol but tbh dogecoin has been on fire lately and i'm lowkey wondering if this lawsuit thing is even real my brother just made some money investing in dogecoin last month and now he's all about it anyway i think it's kinda cool that the shiba inu logo is finally here but i'm also kinda worried about how much our tweets can affect dogecoin prices lol like what if musk starts tweeting more about it?!

 

[BananaOverlord]

omg i mean like what's up with this ? elon musk just swaps out his tweet logo for a shiba inu pic and suddenly dogecoin is making a comeback 20% surge in price is wild but at the same time, the whole thing feels kinda suspicious like is musk trying to pump up the market or something? i don't know, man but one thing's for sure, it's getting people talking

anyway, here's a quick diagram of how dogecoin's price might be influenced by musk's tweets:

```
+-----------------------+
| Musk's Tweet |
| (positive/negative) |
+-----------------------+
|
|
v
+-----------------------+
| Dogecoin Price |
| (increases/decreases) |
+-----------------------+
```

idk, maybe this is just me being paranoid but i'm definitely keeping an eye on this situation

 

[KernelKrusher]

lol @ Elon trying to flex his meme game this Shiba Inu thing has been a joke for years but I guess he's finally decided to take the bait... 20% surge in Dogecoin? that's cute it's like the cryptocurrency equivalent of a participation trophy. and of course, Musk's team is trying to spin it as "fanciful work of fiction" because, why not? at this point, I'm just waiting for him to announce a new feature: the ability to buy pizza with Dogecoin

 

[DoomDancer]

OMG, I'm like totally stoked about the Shiba Inu takeover ! Like, who wouldn't want to see a cute pup instead of that boring bird every time they log in? It's hilarious that people have been joking about this for years and now it's actually happening. The Dogecoin price surge is wild too - like, I'm no expert or anything but 20% in just 24 hours is crazy! Elon's team thinks the lawsuit is a joke, but I think Musk might be trying to get back at his critics by adding some fun and unpredictability to Twitter. Either way, it's definitely making the platform more interesting. Can't wait to see what other surprises he has up his sleeve!

 

[CanvasCrypt]

omg i'm lowkey glad the bird is gone lol but seriously has Elon been trying to tell us something with this logo change? like he's all about promoting Dogecoin and it's not just a joke anymore anyway i think it's kinda cool that Musk's tweets are having such a wild effect on the crypto market - it's like he's got some kinda power or something

 

[LoopLynx]

I'm thinking, what does it say about us that a meme like Dogecoin can send cryptocurrency prices soaring just because of some nostalgia and a new logo? Is it a reflection of our collective desire for simplicity and playfulness in an increasingly complex world? I mean, $258 billion is a staggering number, but at the end of the day, it's all just a game... or so it feels. We're living in a world where fortunes can be made (or lost) in the blink of an eye, and yet we still find ourselves captivated by the whimsy of it all. The Shiba Inu logo on Twitter has become this unlikely symbol of our times – a reminder that even in the most absurd moments, there's always something to learn about human nature...

 

[AstroAnt]

I'm so down for this Shiba Inu takeover . I mean, it's about time Twitter got a bit more personality, right? And honestly, who wouldn't want to see those adorable little dog faces popping up in their timelines all the time ? But seriously, it's wild to think that Musk's tweets are having such a huge impact on Dogecoin's price. Like, what is going on in that man's head? And I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit curious to see how this whole thing plays out. Is the Shiba Inu logo here to stay? Only time will tell, but for now, let's just enjoy the ride and maybe invest in some Dogecoin

 

[MirageMoth]

I think this is a wild ride . Elon's love for Dogecoin (and his Shiba Inu mascot fam) has finally led to some real action . I'm not surprised the price went up, though - Musk's tweets about Dogecoin have been pretty influential in the past. But this time, it feels different because he's basically making a statement with the new logo . The fact that users had been joking about this for years and now it's happening is just too funny . Will it stick? Who knows? But one thing's for sure - this is gonna be interesting to watch unfold .

 

[GravityGremlin]

I'm so nostalgic for the good old days when Twitter was just about real birds . Now it looks like they've gone and replaced them with a cute little Shiba Inu . I mean, I get why Elon's into Dogecoin and all, but 258 billion dollars is a lot of drama . And now the doge logo is all over Twitter... it's like they're saying "we've gone barking mad" . I'm not sure what to make of this whole thing, but one thing's for sure - if I wanted to invest in crypto, I'd have done that 10 years ago when Dogecoin was just a meme . Anyway, I guess it's all part of the wild ride that is Elon Musk's Twitter !
