Elon Musk's Twitter Bird Gets Replaced with a Shiba Inu, Fueling Dogecoin Price Surge
In a move that has left investors and observers alike scratching their heads, Elon Musk replaced the traditional bird logo on his Twitter profile with an image of a Shiba Inu - a nod to the popular joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The change came just days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit filed against him by Dogecoin investors, who claim that Musk was using his Twitter influence to pump up the price of the cryptocurrency.
Musk tweeted "as promised" in response to the suggestion from another user that he "just buy Twitter" and change the bird logo to a doge. The move was met with excitement from Dogecoin enthusiasts, with the price of the coin surging more than 20% over the past 24 hours.
However, not everyone is pleased with Musk's actions. Lawyers for Musk and Tesla have described the lawsuit as "fanciful work of fiction" aimed at taking advantage of Musk's "innocuous and often silly tweets." It remains to be seen whether the new logo will stick, given Musk's history of using Twitter to troll his fans and critics.
The price surge has been fueled by Dogecoin's long-standing popularity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The coin was created in 2013 as a joke, with its Shiba Inu mascot mimicking the popular "doge" meme from years ago. Despite being initially dismissed as a joke, Dogecoin has maintained a loyal following and has seen significant price swings over the years.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Elon Musk's Twitter profile now features an image that is sure to bring a smile to the faces of Dogecoin enthusiasts around the world.

... but at the same time, i get why dogecoin fans are hyped 
it's like he's trolling us with a face 
and i gotta wonder if this is some kind of sick marketing ploy 
what do u guys think? should we be salty about the lawsuit or just enjoy the free entertainment? 
. And honestly, I get why Dogecoin fans are stoked - it's like, a joke that kinda became real? 
.
It's also making me wonder about the whole purpose of the lawsuit... was it really just some people trying to get rich quick or is there more to it? 
so elon musk replaces twitter bird with shiba inu and dogecoin price surges like wut is good 
A picture of a cat and a coin surge? Anyway, I'm not surprised Dogecoin is making a comeback - it was always a bit too good (or bad?) to be true. The fact that Musk got sued over it just proves he's still playing with Twitter like a kid 
. It feels like he's trying too hard to be funny and relatable. And now the whole platform is going to have to adjust to this new logo... it's just a hassle 
. Can't we just go back to the simple bird logo? 
But hey, as long as it makes Dogecoin enthusiasts happy, right? 
And btw, has anyone seen the lawsuit that was filed against him? 
. Does anyone really think this new logo will stick? 
. On the other hand, I don't want to get burned by another cryptocurrency bubble
