Washington [US], Apr 4: Yet again, Twitter CEO Elon Musk is back with new updates for the micro-blogging site, and this time he has changed the iconic blue bird logo \u2013 which has served as a home button on the web version, with the \u201cdoge\u201d meme of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
Twitter users noticed the \u2018doge\u2019 meme, which is part of the logo of the Dogecoin blockchain and cryptocurrency and was created as a joke in 2013, on the web version of Twitter on Monday.
Musk also shared a hilarious post on his account wherein the \u2018doge\u2019 meme (which features the face of a Shiba Inu) in the car and telling the police officer, who seems to be seeing his driving license, that his photo has been changed.
Notably, there was no change on Twitter\u2019s mobile app.
It is pertinent to mention that the doge image (of a Shiba Inu) is well-known as the logo of the Dogecoin blockchain and cryptocurrency, which was created as a joke in 2013 \u2014 to mock other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Variety reported.
Twitter\u2019s CEO also shared the screenshot of the March 26, 2022, conversation between him and the anonymous account where the latter was asking to change the bird logo to \u201cdoge.\u201d Sharing this post on Twitter, Musk wrote, \u201cAs promised.\u201d
According to Variety, Musk, who bought Twitter last fall in a USD 44 billion deal, is a well-known superfan of the Doge meme and he has promoted Dogecoin both on Twitter and during his appearance last year hosting \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d After the change to Twitter\u2019s web logo Monday, the value of Dogecoin rose more than 20 per cent.
After Musk tweeted in March 2022, prior to mounting his eventually successful bid to buy Twitter, \u201cGiven that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?\u201d Musk tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
@WSBChairman had responded, \u201cjust buy twitter\u2026 and change the bird logo to a doge.\u201d Musk responded, \u201cHaha that would sickkk\u201d.
He had also posted another photo stating, \u201cSeize the Memes of Production.\u201d
Earlier, on February 15, Musk\u2019s love for \u2018doge\u2019 was visible as he posted the photograph of the Dogecoin blockchain and cryptocurrency logo, posing as the CEO, on his account with the caption, \u201cThe new CEO of Twitter is amazing.\u201d (AGENCIES)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
