Elon Musk's Twitter Bird Replaced with Shiba Inu, Dogecoin Surges in Response.
In a move that has sparked both curiosity and controversy, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk replaced the traditional Twitter bird logo with an image of a Shiba Inu, the canine mascot of the popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency dogecoin. The change, which was made on Monday afternoon, was met with a significant surge in the price of dogecoin.
Musk tweeted that he had "promised" to make the change, referencing a year-old conversation where another user suggested that Musk should replace the bird logo with a Shiba Inu. This move has been seen as an apparent nod to his own involvement with dogecoin, which is being sued by investors who claim that Musk is trying to prop up the cryptocurrency through his Twitter tweets.
Lawyers for Musk and Tesla have dismissed the lawsuit as "fanciful work of fiction," claiming that Musk's tweets are simply innocuous and often silly. However, dogecoin investors see it differently, accusing Musk of using his platform to pump up the price of the cryptocurrency in an attempt to support his own interests.
The change to the Twitter logo has been met with a mix of reactions from users, with some seeing it as a clever marketing ploy by Musk and others viewing it as a desperate attempt to revive the struggling cryptocurrency. Whatever the intention, the move seems to have had a significant impact on dogecoin's price, which surged more than 20% over the past 24 hours.
Dogecoin was created in December 2013 as a joke, but its popularity has endured thanks to its quirky Shiba Inu mascot and Musk's own involvement with the cryptocurrency. With the current surge in price, it remains to be seen whether dogecoin will continue to defy expectations and prove itself as a viable investment opportunity.

I guess Elon Musk is just trying to "paws" for a moment (get it?) before unleashing his next big idea 
. But seriously, 20% surge in dogecoin price over 24 hours? That's like me saying I'm going to invest all my money in pizza – it's a pretty strong bet 
! I wonder if Elon is secretly hoping for dogecoin to become the next big thing, or if he just wants to see how long he can make us laugh with his silly tweets 
The guy's just trolling us at this point. Replacing the bird logo with a Shiba Inu is either a genius marketing move or a cry for help. Either way, I'm invested (pun intended) 
i mean what's next gonna be a cat logo for reddit or something?! 
anyway, i think musk just wants to stir up some fun and show us he's still got it. but honestly, who knew a cute little shiba inu could make so much $$$? 
. Like, who saw that coming? But honestly, I think it's kinda genius move by Elon Musk 
. The Shiba Inu mascot is already pretty iconic, so it makes sense to keep it on the Twitter bird 
. As for dogecoin, I'm not an expert but from what I understand, it's got a pretty loyal fan base 
. If Musk can keep that hype going without making anyone feel scammed or misled 
, then more power to him 
.
and it make me wanna buy some dogecoin just for the meme 
I get that Musk likes dogs or whatever, but do we really need a Shiba Inu on Twitter? It's like, what's next? A Pomeranian instead of Apple's logo? 
I mean, who knew that a simple Twitter logo change could cause such a stir? Like, I get the hype for Shiba Inus (who doesn't love those adorable little faces? 
. The thing is, though, we'll never know for sure what Musk's intentions are (he's not exactly the most forthcoming guy, lol), but one thing's for sure: this move has lit up the crypto world 
!
I'm low-key surprised that people are freaking out over this. Like, come on, it's just a logo change. Elon can put whatever he wants on his Twitter profile pic if he wants 
.
. And let's be real, Musk's tweets are already super unpredictable - what's next, a cat from Grumpy Cat? 
. But at the same time, it's kinda genius marketing. I've been eyeing dogecoin for ages, and now I might just have to dip into my savings 
maybe its time for it to step up its game as a legit cryptocurrency 
but he's all about the meme life 
some say it's marketing genius 
others think it's just a publicity stunt 
either way, dogecoin fans are riding high
