Elon Musk has made a new update on Twitter, replacing the blue bird logo, which serves as the home button on the web version, with the “doge” meme of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
The web version of Twitter now features the doge meme, which is part of the logo of the Dogecoin blockchain and cryptocurrency created as a joke in 2013.
In a humorous tweet, Musk shared a post featuring the doge meme in a car, informing a police officer that his photo had been changed. However, the Twitter mobile app has not undergone any changes.
Elon Musk, who bought Twitter last fall in a USD 44 billion deal, is a well-known fan of the Doge meme and has promoted Dogecoin both on Twitter and during his appearance last year hosting “Saturday Night Live.”
After the change to Twitter’s web logo on Monday, the value of Dogecoin rose more than 20 percent. In March 2022, prior to mounting his successful bid to buy Twitter, Musk had tweeted, “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?”
WSBChairman had responded, “just buy Twitter… and change the bird logo to a doge.” Musk responded, “Haha, that would sickkk.”
