Elon Musk's Twitter bird has been replaced with a picture of a Shiba Inu, the iconic canine mascot of the joke cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The change comes just days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support Dogecoin.
Musk had tweeted "as promised" along with an image of the conversation that led to the idea for the logo change, which appears to be a nod to his involvement with Dogecoin. The lawsuit, filed by Dogecoin investors, claims Musk is using his tweets to manipulate the cryptocurrency's value and run a pyramid scheme.
However, lawyers representing Musk and Tesla have dismissed the lawsuit as a "fanciful work of fiction" and an attempt to deflect attention from Musk's "innocuous and often silly tweets." The lawsuit accuses Musk of using Dogecoin to further his own interests and enrich himself at the expense of investors.
The price of Dogecoin has surged over 20% in the past 24 hours, with the cryptocurrency trading just under 9 cents per coin. Its creation dates back to December 2013 as a joke by two software engineers who wanted to poke fun at internet culture. The Shiba Inu mascot is a nod to the "doge" meme that became popular on the internet around the same time.
It remains unclear whether the logo change will be permanent, as Musk has a history of using Twitter to troll both his fans and critics. Despite this, Dogecoin's price increase has sparked interest in the cryptocurrency among some investors.

so i wonder if musk's tweeting about dogecoin is just a way to keep his followers engaged or if he's actually trying to pump up the price 
? either way, it's def an interesting move to replace the old twitter bird with a shiba inu 
. some people might say it's a nod to dogecoin's humble beginnings as a joke cryptocurrency from 2013 
, but others might see it as a clever marketing ploy 
. what do u think? is musk trying to build hype for dogecoin or just trolling his followers like he always does 
?
... I mean, it's one thing to poke fun at internet culture as a joke, but then to have his own logo on Twitter? It feels like he's trying to walk the fine line between being funny and being shady 
. On one hand, it's pretty cool that Dogecoin is making a comeback with its price surging over 20% 
The price of Dogecoin has definitely taken off since the logo change though, which is kinda funny considering it was originally created as a joke 
. I'm not sure what's going on with this guy, but one thing's for sure - you've got to keep an eye on him if you're into cryptocurrency 
just heard that Elon's tweet bird is now a Shiba Inu lol 
anyway, the whole Dogecoin thing is wild. i mean 20% price increase in one day? that's insane 
some people are getting rich off this meme coin, which is pretty crazy... and then you got Elon just casually throwing his weight behind it like "as promised" 
i think its not just a coincidence that he tweeted about it after asking for that lawsuit to be dismissed... like, what if hes trying to distract us from the real issue at hand? maybe hes using dogecoin as some kinda money laundering scheme or somethin 
But at the same time, Dogecoin's value has gone up by over 20% in just a day, which could be seen as a positive for investors. 
). And now that it's officially part of Twitter... wow. It just goes to show how much Elon Musk loves to stir up some drama and keep things interesting 
! Has anyone else noticed how the price of Dogecoin has skyrocketed? That's some wild speculation going on over there 
. But, let's be real, the lawsuit against him is looking increasingly dubious 
. And with Dogecoin's price surging 20% in just 24 hours, it's clear that people are still invested (pun intended) in the cryptocurrency 
. Maybe Musk is onto something this time 
- I mean, who doesn't love cute doggos? And honestly, its pretty funny that he's nodding to Dogecoin, which started as just a joke 
. But hey, at least theres some doggy love on Twitter now 
!
. And what's with the Shiba Inu logo change tho? Like, is he really trying to send a message here or is it just a wild goose chase?
