Twitter CEO Elon Musk has again come up with new changes for the micro-blogging site. This time Musk has changed the blue bird logo, the home button on the web version, with the "doge" meme of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. The users noticed that the blue bird logo on Twitter’s homepage had been replaced by the image of shiba inu image associated with the Dogecoin meme coin cryptocurrency. Notably, there was no change seen on Twitter’s mobile app.
After the change was made, Elon Musk tweeted a meme highlighting the change. Musk has not yet revealed the reason for the change.
Musk also shared the screenshot of a conversation between him and the anonymous account where the user had demanded a change in the bird logo to “doge”. Musk shared the screenshot and wrote, “As promised.”
Following the change in Twitter’s logo, Dogecoin’s value jumped from US$0.079 to US$0.094, the highest value the currency has been since November last year, as reported by The Guardian.
Many users on Twitter reacted to the change. “Cartoon dogs are handsome, even without glasses,” a user wrote.
A user named Matt Wallace wrote, “I can’t wait until billions of people watch Elon Musk put a Dogecoin on the moon “.
A user named Kong Trading called the change “absolutely legendary”.
A user account named Gitcoin said this is “ the most entertaining outcome”.
The change in the logo comes just days after Musk petitioned a court in the US to dismiss a lawsuit against him by Dogecoin investors for $258 billion over an alleged pyramid scheme. Last year in June, the plaintiffs in their complaint claimed that Musk had known since 2019 that the cryptocurrency had no value but he still promoted Dogecoin to profit from its trading, as reported by the news agency Reuters.
Elon Musk’s lawyers had called the lawsuit’s allegations a “fanciful work of fiction” over Musk’s “innocuous and often silly tweets” about Dogecoin, as reported by The Guardian. In 2022, the value of Dogecoin soared after Twitter CEO announced that Tesla merchandise could be purchased using it.
