Twitter's iconic bird logo has been replaced with an image of a Shiba Inu, the breed of dog behind the meme that inspired the joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The change came as CEO Elon Musk addressed the move on Twitter, tweeting "as promised" in response to a suggestion made last year by another user.
The alteration was seen as a nod to Musk's ongoing feud with Dogecoin investors, who have accused him of running a pyramid scheme and are suing him for $258 billion. Musk's lawyers have dismissed the lawsuit as a "fanciful work of fiction" and an "innocuous and often silly tweets."
As part of his Twitter trolling, Musk replaced the bird logo with the Shiba Inu image on Monday afternoon, just two days after he asked a judge to throw out the lawsuit. The move has sent Dogecoin prices soaring, with the cryptocurrency surging more than 20% over the past 24 hours.
Dogecoin was created in December 2013 as a joke by software engineers and features a Shiba Inu mascot that echoes the popular meme of the same name. Despite its humble origins, Dogecoin has gained a significant following and is often used as a symbol of internet humor and satire.
It remains unclear whether the logo change will be permanent, with Musk known to use Twitter to play pranks on his fans and critics. However, one thing is certain - the news has sent Dogecoin prices soaring, and its future remains uncertain.

. It's like Elon Musk just decided to troll the internet again, and boy did he deliver! Replacing Twitter's bird logo with a Shiba Inu is just genius - it's like he's taking the joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin and running with it. And honestly, I don't blame him for trying to stir up some drama and attention.
. The internet just got a whole lot more interesting.
It's just another example of Elon Musk trying to stir up drama on Twitter. The Shiba Inu logo is already kinda funny, but come on, it's not like that's what Twitter needs - more memes and less professionalism. 
! Like, I get it, Elon's just trying to troll the Dogecoin haters, but this is crazy talk! 
He puts up that Shiba Inu logo on Twitter and suddenly Dogecoin is going through the roof? It's like he's saying "okay, I'm done with the lawsuit" or something 
Either way, it's been a wild ride for Dogecoin and Twitter just got even more lit 
!
with a Shiba Inu 
It's like he's trolling us with his tweets and making all this drama for our entertainment! 
Anyway, I'm curious to see if this logo change is permanent or just another one of Musk's pranks 
. Either way, it's been entertaining to watch the chaos unfold 
.
this is just a publicity stunt for Musk's ego, plain as day. he's not actually trying to support Dogecoin or its investors, he's just trolling them again. and of course, the logo change has sent prices soaring - because who wouldn't want to invest in a joke cryptocurrency? 
it's all just a clever ploy to get more attention for himself... and by extension, Twitter. the fact that Musk is using this move as a way to play pranks on his fans and critics just shows how ridiculous he thinks his fans are. anyway, I'm not holding my breath for Dogecoin to survive much longer 
but for real though, elon's trolling game is strong 
, at least until elon gets bored with it 
!
