Elon Musk's Twitter logo has been replaced with an image of a Shiba Inu, the same breed featured on the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. This move has sparked speculation about Musk's ties to the digital currency and whether it's more than just a coincidence.
Musk tweeted that he was "as promised" in reference to a year-old conversation where another user suggested changing the Twitter bird logo to a doge image. The suggestion was made before Musk became CEO of Twitter, and he had initially dismissed the idea.
However, after being sued by Dogecoin investors over allegations of a pyramid scheme, Musk called the lawsuit "a fanciful work of fiction" in court documents. Lawyers for Musk claim that his tweets are innocent and not indicative of any wrongdoing.
The change to the logo came just two days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss the $258 billion racketeering lawsuit filed by Dogecoin investors. The price of Dogecoin surged over 20% in the past 24 hours, sparking debate about whether the logo change is more than just a prank.
Dogecoin was created as a joke on December 6, 2013, by software engineers who wanted to poke fun at internet memes. Its mascot features a Shiba Inu dog surrounded by Comic Sans text and broken English, echoing the "doge" meme that gained popularity a decade ago.
It remains unclear whether the new logo will be permanent, as Musk is known for using Twitter to troll his fans and critics. The move has added fuel to speculation about Musk's involvement with Dogecoin, but its true significance remains unclear.

I'm not sure what to make of this whole thing yet... I mean, it seems like a pretty convenient coincidence that the logo change happens right before the lawsuit gets dismissed? 
The fact that Dogecoin's price surges 20% in the past 24 hours is definitely suspicious, but at the same time, it could just be a result of the public's excitement about the potential resolution. 
I'm also not convinced by Musk's claims that his tweets are innocent, especially given the history between him and Dogecoin. 
it's just a coincidence, folks. I mean, Musk tweeted about being "as promised" like that was some deep inside joke only he knows. 
and don't even get me started on the timing - two days after he asks the judge to dismiss the lawsuit... sounds suspiciously like a publicity stunt to me 
. and let's be real, Musk loves trolling people with Twitter updates. The logo is probably just some random whim of his 
. I'm not buying into all this Dogecoin speculation 
I'm low-key freaking out over this new Twitter logo 
️? I've been following Elon Musk's tweets for ages and he always keeps us on our toes 
But one thing's for sure - it's keeping us all talking about it 
!
. like, we all know he loves to troll us with his tweets so maybe this is just another prank 
. that being said, if there's anything to be said about dogecoin, it's definitely a wild ride 
. and who knows, maybe musk really does have some skin in the game 
! Like, who wouldn't want a Shiba Inu on their Twitter logo 
. But for real tho 
, is Elon Musk trying to troll us again or what? 
. Maybe he's just a dog lover who wants to spread some joy 
?
. Like, I don't even own any, but it's still wild that Elon Musk is tied to this meme coin 
...that's a whole other can of worms 
. What do you guys think? Is the new logo just a prank or is there something more going on? 
dogecoin has been making waves lately and now musk's all about that life 
so maybe we should just enjoy the meme-ry 4 now & not overthink it 
does anyone think he's just trolling us or what? 
Anyway, I'm not buying the whole "just a prank" thing 
The Dogecoin connection just keeps getting murkier 
. Is he really team DOGECOIN or is this all just a clever marketing stunt?
