With Elon Musk’s newest upgrade, Twitter site users were welcomed with the Shiba Inu ‘doge meme’ rather than the original Twitter blue bird logo.
Twitter’s signature blue bird on its home button was replaced with a Shiba Inu emblem connected with the cryptocurrency a day after Elon Musk sought the dismissal of a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of purposely inflating Dogecoin’s value. In response to the upgrade, Twitter CEO Musk tweeted a picture on Tuesday that depicted the face of the Doge meme travelling in a vehicle as a police officer allegedly examines the driving license, which displayed the ‘old’ blue bird logo.
According to Bloomberg, Dogecoin’s value increased by over 30% when its image emerged unexpectedly on the website interface and the term ‘Doge’ began trending on Twitter.
Musk also uploaded an image of an old discussion with a user who requested that he ‘purchase Twitter and convert the bird logo to a doge’ and commented, ‘as promised’.
