Interestingly, the price of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin increased by 10% following this change. However, the current price is still lower than its peak in May 2021.
It is worth noting that Musk is currently facing a $258 million lawsuit for allegedly operating a pyramid scheme to promote Dogecoin.
Additionally, Musk announced that legacy accounts on Twitter will lose their blue checkmarks from April 1st. However, it has been reported that he does not have enough staff to carry out the verification process quickly.
The replacement of Twitter’s iconic bird logo with the doge meme has sparked both interest and criticism. While some find it amusing and entertaining, others believe that it undermines the integrity of the platform.
This is not the first time that Musk has publicly shown his support for Dogecoin. He has previously tweeted about the cryptocurrency, causing its value to rise and fall dramatically. In fact, his tweets have become so influential that they have been dubbed the “Musk effect.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his involvement with Dogecoin, Musk remains a highly influential figure in the tech industry. He is the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, among other ventures.
Overall, the replacement of Twitter’s logo with the doge meme is a playful move by Musk that has garnered both attention and criticism. Only time will tell if this change is just a temporary prank or a more permanent shift in Twitter’s branding.
