Elon Musk, Twitter's CEO, has made a significant change to the platform's iconic bird logo - replacing it with an image of a Shiba Inu, a nod to Dogecoin, a joke cryptocurrency that Musk is being sued over.
On Monday afternoon, Musk tweeted "as promised" in reference to a year-old conversation where another user suggested that Musk should just buy Twitter and change the bird logo to a doge. The doge logo appeared on the site just two days later.
The move has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, with Dogecoin's price soaring more than 20% over the past 24 hours. This is a significant turnaround from Monday morning when the coin was trading at around 8 cents per unit.
Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by two software engineers as a joke, with its name and mascot paying homage to the popular "doge" meme that gained traction a decade ago. The cryptocurrency's rise to prominence has been fueled largely by Musk's tweets about it, but now he appears to be embracing his newfound fame.
Musk's lawyers have dismissed the $258 billion lawsuit filed against him, calling it a "fanciful work of fiction." However, it remains unclear whether the logo change will become permanent or just another Twitter prank.
As with any Elon Musk move on Twitter, it is impossible to predict what's next. But one thing is certain - Dogecoin has gained significant attention in recent days, and its price is likely to continue to fluctuate as investors react to Musk's latest actions.

So Elon Musk changes the Twitter logo to a Shiba Inu and suddenly Dogecoin's value skyrockets? It's like he's playing with people's emotions, you know? On one hand, it's pretty cool that Dogecoin has become a thing, especially since it was created as a joke. But on the other hand, I don't think this is a good idea at all... I mean, what if Musk just decides to change his mind and go back to the old logo? It's like he's playing with fire here.
. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing for the crypto market, but it's definitely getting people talking. And honestly, who knows what's going to happen next? Will this be a permanent change or just another Twitter prank? 
Only time will tell, I guess.
I'm loving the doge vibes on Twitter now 
Musk is such a goofball and it's awesome that he's bringing some humor to the platform 
anyway, i think this move will definitely get more people talking about Dogecoin and I'm here for it 
i was thinking it was just a joke when he first tweeted about buying twitter and changing the logo to a doge, but now its legit!! 
i mean i guess elon's tweets have been making dogecoin's value go up for years now, so why not?!? 
anyway, its definitely going to be interesting to see what happens next with this whole thing... and whether the logo change becomes permanent or just another one of elons pranks 
or was it always meant for us to see this new one coming? 
anyway i guess dogecoin is making a comeback and i hope whoever owns it has fun with the money 
and im literally living for it
