As Twitter replaces its blue bird logo with the Doge meme, memers are making fun of the new logo.
The Doge meme, an image of a Shiba Inu dog, replaced Twitter’s blue bird logo on Monday. Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, frequently promotes the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which has been linked to the image.
The microblogging website’s late April Fool’s joke appears to be this change in the logo. Following the modification of Twitter’s logo, Musk tweeted about it via a meme and shared screenshots of an earlier Twitter exchange in which a user requested that Musk purchase the social media platform before changing its logo to a “doge.”

It’s interesting to note that this change occurred just days after Musk asked a judge to throw out a 258 billion dollar lawsuit that Dogecoin investors had brought against him for allegedly using a pyramid scheme to promote Dogecoin.
According to a Market Watch report, Musk supported Dogecoin via a series of tweets in February 2021, which led to a 44% price increase for the cryptocurrency. Musk’s support had a similar impact on Monday when the Investor’s Business Daily reported that Dogecoin’s value increased by 36% as a result of Twitter changing its logo.

On Tuesday morning, the official Twitter account of Dogecoin shared the now-iconic photo of the dog behind the Doge meme and wrote, “The dog behind the #Doge meme and #Dogecoin cryptocurrency is named Kabosu and she still lives with her owner Atsuko Sato @kabosumama in Sakura, Japan. Kabosu was a rescue dog and became a meme after Atsuko uploaded photos of Kabosu, including the one below, on her blog in 2010.” Last year, Kaosu celebrated her 17th birthday on November 2.
