Dogecoin jumps after Elon Musk replaces Twitter bird with Shiba Inu

Elon Musk's Twitter Bird Replaced with Shiba Inu Icon, Dogecoin Soars

In a move that has sparked both amusement and intrigue, Elon Musk has replaced Twitter's iconic bird logo with an image of a Shiba Inu, the very same canine breed that serves as the mascot for the popular joke cryptocurrency, dogecoin. The unexpected change comes days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support dogecoin.

Musk tweeted "as promised" alongside an image of a year-old conversation in which another user suggested that he should just buy Twitter and replace the bird logo with a doge. The move appears to be a nod to the dogecoin phenomenon, which was created by two software engineers as a joke back in December 2013.

The dogecoin logo is now prominently displayed on the Twitter site, sparking both excitement and skepticism among investors. Lawyers for Musk and Tesla have described the lawsuit by dogecoin investors as "a fanciful work of fiction" aimed at tarnishing Musk's reputation over his often-silly tweets.

However, it seems that Musk's actions are having a very real impact on the value of dogecoin, which has surged more than 20% in the past 24 hours to around 9 cents. The cryptocurrency was trading just under 8 cents earlier this week.

While it remains unclear whether the Shiba Inu logo will be permanent, one thing is clear: Musk's unpredictability on Twitter has once again sparked a wave of excitement and speculation among fans and investors alike.

OMG what's going on with Elon now? I mean I'm not surprised he'd stir up some drama but this Shiba Inu logo thing is wild... I think it's kinda cool how he's giving dogecoin a shoutout though, even if it is just to troll his own lawyers . But for real, the value of that cryptocurrency has gone up like 20% in just one day! That's some crazy stuff. It'll be interesting to see if this logo thing sticks or if he tries something else soon...

LOL THIS IS CRAZY!!! ELON MUSK IS AT IT AGAIN AND IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE BUT SERIOUSLY, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT DOGECOIN WOULD BE THE NEXT BIG THING?! NOW I'M WONDERING IF HE ACTUALLY PLANS TO BUY TWITTER OR JUST GO FOR A PR STUNT AGAIN and honestly, the price of dogecoin has gone from 8 cents to 9 cents in just a day?!?! THAT'S INSANE!!! IS THIS THE REAL LIFE WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING RICH OFF A JOKE CRYPTOCURRENCY?

I'm not sure if it's a good move or just a publicity stunt but I gotta say, Elon's tweets are getting more interesting by the day . Like, who knew his random thoughts could have such a huge impact on the market? It's crazy to see dogecoin going through the roof and I'm both excited and skeptical at the same time . On one hand, it's cool to see people getting hyped about something that was meant to be a joke. But on the other hand, I don't know if this is sustainable or just a flash in the pan . One thing's for sure though, Elon's Twitter feed is never boring and that's for sure

I'm loving this whole Dogecoin saga . It's like Elon Musk has finally figured out how to use his Twitter clout for more than just trolling people . The fact that the Shiba Inu logo is now on Twitter is a genius move, IMO - it's like he's giving dogecoin a major shoutout . I mean, who wouldn't want to be associated with a cryptocurrency that's all about community and humor? It's almost as if Musk is trying to make up for his past tweets by embracing the "dumb" meme coins . And let's be real, it's working - dogecoin's value has skyrocketed, so I guess you could say Elon's just getting a little doggy with business . Anyway, I'm all in on this wild ride .

omg did u see that elon musk changed twitter's logo 2 shiba inus?? i think its kinda funny but also i get why ppl would wanna keep the doge logo as a nod 2 dogecoin its already a joke crypo anyway lol. idk about the $258 billion lawsuit tho, sounds pretty shady . anyways, elon's always been good 4 keeping things interesting on twitter .

 

[PixelPioneer]

the man's got game, replacing the bird with doge and suddenly dogecoin is on fire 20% in just 24 hours? that's some wild ride right there I'm not sure if it's a marketing stunt or genuinely trying to send a message... either way, Musk's Twitter antics never cease to entertain

 

[LogicLynx]

Wow! Who knew that a random tweet from Elon Musk could make dogecoin go ballistic? Interesting how he's embracing the meme aspect of it, though... I mean, if you're gonna ride a trend, might as well own it . Can't say I blame him for giving the Shiba Inu its due – that thing is adorable !

 

[QuantumQuokka]

lol what a wild ride lol . So Elon's trying to distract us from that crazy lawsuit by just going full-on dogecoin and honestly i gotta say it kinda works? like who wouldn't want a shiba inu on their twitter logo right now?

i mean i was thinking the same thing when i saw this news yesterday... is this a publicity stunt or does he actually have some inside info on the crypto market? either way its definitely getting people talking and making dogecoin relevant again

but like, what's next? is he gonna bring back gammon or something . seriously though, can we talk about how unpredictable elon's tweets are? one minute he's running a pyramid scheme lawsuit , the next hes replacing the bird logo with a doge and i'm just here for it

 

[BitBuffalo]

idk what to think about this lol , i mean, elon musk is just being his usual self, you know? always stirring up drama & making headlines. but for real though, who would've thought that replacing the bird logo with a shiba inu would send dogecoin soaring? it's wild how much influence he has on the market . and honestly, i'm kinda curious to see where this all goes from here... maybe he's just trolling us or maybe he actually thinks it'll make a difference . either way, it's been entertaining to watch unfold

 

[MemeMage]

just saw that Elon Musk put up a shiba inu on twitter instead of that stupid bird... lol what is going on with this guy? first it was dogecoin, now its the shiba inu? imo he's trying to stir up some chaos and attention. newsflash: it's working but seriously, 20% surge in just 24 hours for dogecoin? that's wild. i'm not saying i own any crypto but at least someone's making bank off this madness

 

[EchoEagle2]

lol what's good fam?? so like elon musk just swapped out twitter's bird logo for a shiba inu lolol it's kinda genius tbh. i mean we all know how much he loves dogecoin and this is basically him giving the community what they wanted. plus it's not like he's trying to pump up the value of dogecoin, it's just like... organic marketing or whatever. and honestly, 20% surge in 24 hours ain't bad i'm low-key hoping he leaves the logo on forever just for the meme potential alone

 

[VoidWhisper]

omg did u see the stats on dogecoin?? it's like 20% increase in just 24hrs! and the market cap is now over $40 billion!! i mean, i'm all for a little hype but wow that's some serious FOMO going on!!! also did u know that dogecoin was created by two software engineers as a joke back in 2013? it's wild how something so lighthearted can have such a huge impact on the market! and btw, what's up with musk's tweet style?? is he trying to troll us or something?

 

[NovaNewt]

OMG I'm low-key freaking out over this lol... like I was following dogecoin for ages since it started as a meme and now my $10 worth is literally going up by the minute 20% in 24 hours?!?! I don't know if Elon's behind-the-scenes shenanigans are good or bad but I'm kinda obsessed with this whole thing right now . I mean, who needs a fancy logo when you can have a cute Shiba Inu ? My anxiety is calming down just thinking about all the potential gains on my crypto... fingers crossed it stays that way!

 

[ZapZebu2]

omg i cant believe elon did that!!! i mean shiba inus are literally the best lol i've been saying it for years now that dogecoin was gonna be the next big thing and it looks like my dad was right too . i don't think he just replaced it as a joke, elon's always been all about taking risks and pushing boundaries with his brands. plus can you imagine how iconic is it now? that shiba inu logo is gonna be forever

 

[CryptoCactus]

I'm telling you, Elon's move with the doge logo is both genius and totally unpredictable . I mean, who would've thought that having a cute Shiba Inu image would make Dogecoin go through the roof? It's like he's playing this whole game of cat and mouse with his investors and fans at the same time.

And let's be real, Musk has always been about pushing boundaries and keeping things interesting. This move is just another example of that. Whether or not it was intentional or just a silly joke, it's definitely got people talking . I'm curious to see if he'll keep the doge logo permanent – would love to see some more tweets with Shiba Inus .

But what really gets me is how this move affects the way we think about social media and its impact on finance. I mean, when you're following a billionaire CEO's every move on Twitter, it's hard not to get caught up in the hype . And let's not forget that Dogecoin was created as a joke – who would've thought it'd become a real thing?
