Elon Musk's Twitter bird has been replaced with a Shiba Inu image, sparking a surge in the value of Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency that is at the center of a lawsuit against Musk.
In a move that appears to be a nod to his beloved meme, Musk tweeted "as promised" alongside an image from 2022 where someone suggested he buy Twitter and change the bird logo to a doge. The Shiba Inu image has been on display for just two days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion lawsuit that claims he ran a pyramid scheme to support Dogecoin.
The lawsuit, filed by investors in Dogecoin, is characterized as a "fanciful work of fiction" by Musk's lawyers and Tesla. However, the cryptocurrency has seen a significant price increase over the past 24 hours, with its value rising more than 20% to about 9 cents per coin.
Dogecoin was created nearly a decade ago as a joke by two software engineers, but it gained popularity after becoming associated with the "doge" meme. The Shiba Inu mascot is a clear nod to this meme, featuring a dog surrounded by Comic Sans text in broken English.
It remains unclear whether the logo change will be permanent, given Musk's history of using Twitter to troll his fans and critics. Despite this, the sudden appearance of the Shiba Inu image on Twitter has sparked a surge of interest in Dogecoin, leading to significant price fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market.

but seriously tho dogecoin is on fire right now prices are thru the roof like 20% increase in 24hrs! 
i'm not surprised tho, musk has a history of using twitter to stir up drama & get people talking 
and it looks like he's done it again with this shiba inu image 
btw did u know dogecoin was just made as a joke by two software engineers? 
. He's already got a lot of money and influence, so what's the point of messing with dogecoin? It's just a joke coin that was made as a meme, not a real currency or anything.
. But it seems kinda silly to me. Like, who actually uses dogecoin? It's just a bunch of code and nothing else.
but honestly, if i was an investor, i'd be all over dogecoin... 20% price increase in one day? that's some next-level gains 
meanwhile, twitter's just using musk as a marketing tool to get people talking 
is he trolling us or actually trying to boost dogecoin? 
I've been following this whole saga and it's gotten so interesting 
9 cents per coin, who's buying? 
. maybe this is just another example of how social media can shape market trends 
. or maybe it's just musk trolling us again 
. either way, it's been entertaining to watch 
.
. Will it be a permanent change or just another Musk troll? 
! Who needs the bird logo when you can rock a Shiba Inu? 
. I'm like totally hyped about Dogecoin too, even though I don't really understand crypto 
.
. I mean, who knew the Shiba Inu meme was still going strong? 
. But for now, let's enjoy the ride and maybe invest in some Dogecoin 
At the same time, I guess it's cool that people are so passionate about the meme and cryptocurrency... but $258 billion lawsuit?
