Elon Musk's Twitter Bird Replaced with Dogecoin-Shaped Logo in Bizarre Power Play.
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency world, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has replaced the platform's traditional bird logo with an image of a Shiba Inu, a breed of dog and the mascot of the popular joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The move comes just two days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support Dogecoin.
Musk took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to tease the change, tweeting "as promised" in response to a 2022 conversation where another user suggested that Musk "just buy Twitter" and "change the bird logo to a doge". The move appears to be a nod to Dogecoin, with which Musk has been involved in a heated dispute over the past few weeks.
Lawyers for Musk and Tesla have dismissed the lawsuit as a "fanciful work of fiction", but it's unclear whether the new logo is permanent. Given Musk's history of using Twitter to troll both fans and critics, it's possible that this move may be part of a larger game.
The change has had a significant impact on Dogecoin prices, with the cryptocurrency seeing a surge of over 20% in value in the past 24 hours. As one of the most volatile cryptocurrencies out there, Dogecoin's price often reacts to sentiment and speculation - and it appears that Musk's latest move has sent investors into a frenzy.
Created just six years ago as a joke by two software engineers, Dogecoin has gained a significant following over the past year due in part to its connection to Elon Musk. The Shiba Inu mascot is recognizable from its appearance in popular memes and online culture - and it's clear that Musk is willing to take risks to promote his cryptocurrency.

i was literally thinking about him asking us 2 days ago if he should just buy twitter and change the logo to a doge and i lowkey freaked out 
but i guess thats exactly what happened!!
anyone else think its kinda funny that he's trying to troll us again? 
i mean, i get it, dogecoin has been on fire lately 
and elon is just riding the wave 
but still...i love how dramatic it all gets 
but i guess its a bold move? if dogecoin prices keep going up, he might be onto something... but on the other hand, who knows what's really going on behind the scenes 
maybe he's just trolling us all again 
He literally changes the Twitter logo to a Dogecoin dog just two days after dismissing a lawsuit that accuses him of promoting a pyramid scheme for Dogecoin! Like, come on Elon, you're either trying to troll us or you really think we're all just going to buy into your crypto nonsense? 
i'm not gonna lie though, 20% surge in value in one day is wild 
. Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on this situation and seeing how it all unfolds 
.
Either way, it's definitely entertaining to watch! 
. Some people might say it's just a joke, while others are totally buying into it 
I'm not surprised by this move, to be honest... Elon's been known for being unpredictable on Twitter 
Either way, I think Musk's trying to send a message about the power of social media influencers and community engagement 
. We'll just have to wait and see if this logo swap sticks around or is just another one of his tricks 
, just saw that the new dogecoin logo has sent dogecoin prices soaring by 20% in just one day... meanwhile, tesla's stock price has plummeted since musk tweeted about "accepting bitcoin for tesla payments" which was basically a dogecoin ad 
but honestly, it's kinda cute that dogecoin fans r so hyped 2 get their hands on musk's logo 
), it's just about having fun and being part of the wild ride 
. Bring on the dogecoin madness! 
. musk thinks he can just troll us into making dogecoin go up and down like that? 
. on the one hand, it's cool to see someone taking a chance and having some fun with it 
. we should all just sit back and watch... or maybe even enjoy the ride 
. Either way, I'm curious to see if this new logo sticks around or just another one of Musk's Twitter antics 
.
