Elon Musk's Twitter takeover has sparked controversy, with the billionaire CEO replacing the platform's iconic bird logo with an image of a Shiba Inu - a canine symbol associated with the Dogecoin cryptocurrency that Musk is being sued over. The logo change came just days after Musk tweeted "as promised" in reference to a 2021 conversation where another user suggested he replace the bird logo with a doge.
Musk's decision has been met with skepticism from lawyers representing both himself and Tesla, who claim the lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support Dogecoin is a "fanciful work of fiction." The $258 billion racketeering lawsuit was filed by investors in Dogecoin, which was created in 2013 as a joke and has a price that's often volatile.
The price of Dogecoin saw a surge of over 20% in the past 24 hours, trading at around 9 cents. Musk has been known to use Twitter to troll both his fans and critics, leaving it unclear whether the logo change is permanent.

changing twitter's logo to a shiba inu just because someone jokingly suggested it months ago is just weird. i'm not a dogecoin fan or anything, but come on, you're getting sued over this lol. and the price of dogecoin went up like 20% cuz of musk's stupid logo change... maybe he should be banned from twitter forever 
i get that he's being sued but come on who does that 
i'm lowkey salty about it tho dogecoin tho 
idk what's up with the logo change tho, is it gonna be permanent or just a wild card move? 
, i mean, who replaces a beloved bird logo with a meme dog? 
It's just gonna spark more controversy and drama on the platform. And honestly, it feels like he's trying to one-up himself (or maybe troll us all?) by referencing Dogecoin again. I mean, I know he's been involved in some wild schemes over the years, but this one seems pretty far-fetched 
. And can we talk about how his team is trying to downplay that lawsuit for real? $258 billion racketeering? That's some big drama 
.
. And can we please talk about how the value of Dogecoin skyrocketed after Musk tweeted "as promised"? Like, did he really have something up his sleeve? 
️... if musk's really got beef with the whole thing, maybe he should take action instead of just changing logos 
. But when does change become a game? Like with Musk's new Shiba Inu logo on Twitter, it's hard to say whether he's trying to troll us or just genuinely shake things up 
anyway, gonna keep an eye on this one
. The question now is what's next? Will the logo stay or come back to its bird self? Only time (and Twitter) will tell 
.
. We'll be watching to see how Musk navigates this one 
like he's trolling us even more now 
and i gotta ask, was that tweet "as promised" or just another troll move 
?? lawyers on both sides are going ham about the lawsuit, but honestly, it's all just a big mess 
. and omg the lawsuit over Dogecoin is getting wilder by the minute 
[
and now dogecoin is on a roll 
what's going on with that 
stay tuned 
So Elon Musk thinks he's funny by putting that Shiba Inu logo on Twitter? Like, no one thought about how this would play out? The dude who created Dogecoin as a joke is basically laughing all the way to the bank (or in this case, the courtroom) while his investors are getting taken for a ride. And now Musk's trying to troll us with this whole logo change thing... like we didn't see that coming? 
Anyway, I'm not surprised Tesla lawyers are trying to downplay this lawsuit - Musk's always been one to push boundaries and test the limits. Can't say I blame him for wanting to stir things up, but still... 
... I mean, you got this billionaire CEO taking a shot at Dogecoin, which is like, a meme currency or something, and just days after he tweets about "promising" to make a change. And then there's this lawsuit that's claiming he's running some kind of pyramid scheme? Come on! 
Not buying it, though. Musk's a master of playing both sides, but I'm not sure which side is winning this time out.
