Dogecoin jumps after Elon Musk replaces Twitter bird with Shiba Inu | CNN Business

Elon Musk's Twitter Bird Replaced with Dogecoin's Shiba Inu, Fueling Coin's Surge

In a move that has left investors and analysts scratching their heads, Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has replaced the platform's traditional bird logo with an image of a Shiba Inu - the official mascot of dogecoin, a joke cryptocurrency that has been at the center of a high-profile lawsuit against Musk. The change occurred just days after Musk asked a judge to dismiss a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support dogecoin.

Musk had previously announced his intention to purchase Twitter and "change the bird logo to a doge," sparking widespread speculation about his plans for the platform and the cryptocurrency. The dogecoin community, which has been eagerly awaiting news about Musk's involvement with the coin, saw the logo change as a vindication of their faith in him.

The price of dogecoin surged by over 20% in the past 24 hours, reaching around 9 cents per coin, after the logo change. This sudden jump has left many investors wondering if the cryptocurrency is finally getting the validation it deserves.

Created in December 2013 as a joke, dogecoin was originally based on the "doge" meme that became popular around a decade ago. The Shiba Inu mascot, which features a cartoon dog surrounded by Comic Sans text in broken English, has become an iconic symbol of the cryptocurrency.

However, Musk's involvement with dogecoin has been a contentious issue, and many investors have accused him of using the coin to troll his fans and critics on Twitter. It remains unclear whether the logo change will be permanent or if it's just another attempt by Musk to stir up controversy.

As for the lawsuit, lawyers for Musk and Tesla have described it as a "fanciful work of fiction" with no basis in reality. However, investors continue to hold out hope that Musk's involvement with dogecoin could lead to a significant increase in its value.

For now, the price of dogecoin will remain volatile, and only time will tell if the logo change is just a publicity stunt or a genuine indication of the coin's future prospects.
 
omg can you believe this?? ๐Ÿคฏ so elon musk changes twitter's logo to shiba inu and it literally sent dogecoin prices soaring!!! ๐Ÿ’ธ i mean like, i'm all for some good news for crypto but come on, is he just trolling us or does this actually mean something? ๐Ÿค” idk what to think tbh. the thing is, musk's involvement with dogecoin has been kinda sketchy so it's hard to tell if this is legit or not ๐Ÿค‘ but hey, at least it's entertaining! ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
Wow ๐Ÿคฏ, this is crazy! I mean, who would've thought that changing Twitter's logo to a Shiba Inu would make dogecoin go up by 20%? It's like, what's next? Changing the logo on your phone to a meme of a cat and suddenly having a feline-themed cryptocurrency surge in value? Interesting ๐Ÿค”
 
๐Ÿคฏ So I'm thinking about this... Dogecoin's Shiba Inu logo on Twitter is definitely giving it a boost! ๐Ÿš€ As of now, dogecoin's price has surged by 20% in just 24 hours, which is crazy! ๐Ÿ“ˆ According to historical data, the top 10 cryptocurrencies have seen an average increase of around 5-6% over the past week. So, dogecoin's surge is actually pretty close to that average. ๐Ÿ“Š Let's look at the chart... ๐Ÿ“ˆ [insert chart] As you can see, there's been a steady rise in dogecoin's price since Elon Musk first announced his intention to purchase Twitter. This logo change has just given it an extra kick! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Now, I'm not saying this is going to lead to a market crash or anything ๐Ÿ˜‚... but I do think investors should be careful with their investments. After all, the lawsuit against Musk has been described as "a fanciful work of fiction"... ๐Ÿค” Still, if the logo change can keep up the momentum, who knows what's possible? ๐Ÿค‘
 
I just got back from the most random road trip with my friends last weekend ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ˜‚ we were driving through this tiny town in rural England and stumbled upon this awesome retro arcade that had old consoles and games from like 80s and 90s ๐ŸŽฎ It was so much fun playing classic Street Fighter II and Mario Kart while eating these massive burgers and milkshakes ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿฅค. I swear, it's been ages since I've felt that carefree ๐Ÿ˜Œ. Oh man, have you ever tried those crazy thick burgers at this one diner near Oxford? ๐Ÿคค they're like, 10 inches long! ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
the more i think about it ๐Ÿค”, the more i realize that this whole situation with dogecoin and twitter is like a wild goose chase... we're chasing validation from someone who might not even be sincere about his intentions ๐Ÿ’ธ. and then there's the thing about symbols and mascots - what do they really represent? are we putting too much stock in something as superficial as a cute cartoon dog ๐Ÿถ? and meanwhile, the price of dogecoin is just going up and down like a rollercoaster... it's almost like people are trying to ride this wave of uncertainty rather than looking at the bigger picture ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
 
I'm so not surprised by this move from Elon Musk ๐Ÿ™„. He's always been one to stir up drama and attention. Replacing Twitter's bird with Shiba Inu is just another example of his unpredictable behavior. And let's be real, it's not like dogecoin was going to gain any traction on its own ๐Ÿค‘. The fact that its price surged by 20% in just a day is just proof that people are getting sucked into the hype train and investing their money without doing any actual research.

And don't even get me started on Musk's involvement with dogecoin - it's just a marketing ploy to troll his fans and critics. He thinks he can manipulate the community by throwing them a bone, but at the end of the day, it's all just a bunch of nonsense ๐Ÿคฃ. I'm not holding my breath waiting for dogecoin to become the next big thing...
 
omg I'm loving this move by Elon Musk ๐Ÿคฃ I mean, who wouldn't want to see that adorable Shiba Inu face plastered all over Twitter? it's like he's trolling us and at the same time kinda validating dogecoin? anyway, I think this is a total game changer for the coin - it's definitely getting some much-needed hype! ๐Ÿ’ธ as for Musk's intentions, idk if it's just a publicity stunt or something more but one thing's for sure, he's not holding back ๐Ÿคช
 
I'm low-key shocked about this ๐Ÿ˜‚! Like, who saw that coming? Elon Musk changing Twitter's bird logo to a Shiba Inu is either pure genius marketing or a huge publicity stunt ๐Ÿค”. Either way, it's definitely got dogecoin's price flying high ๐Ÿ”ฅ. I mean, if you're already on the edge about this whole thing, and now the Twitter bird is basically wearing a Shiba Inu costume... yeah, that's not good for anyone's sanity ๐Ÿ˜‚.

On a more serious note, though? If Musk really is going to use his platform to boost dogecoin, I guess it's better late than never ๐Ÿ™„. It's still weird how invested some people are in this coin, though. Like, if you're buying into the hype just because Elon said so... okay, no judgment ๐Ÿ’ธ.

One thing that bugs me is how volatile all this is ๐Ÿคฏ. Can we just get a clear answer on whether Musk really believes in dogecoin's value or not? ๐Ÿ™ƒ The lack of transparency is, like, super frustrating ๐Ÿ˜’. Guess only time will tell if the Shiba Inu logo change was just a clever ploy to stir up drama... or something more ๐Ÿ’ญ.
 
omg you guys the logo change on Twitter is SO sus ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ธ i mean elon musk is always good for a drama-filled news cycle #MuskIsBack #DogecoinMania - 20% surge in dogecoin price in one day? that's just insane ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿš€ but at the same time i kinda feel bad for the shiba inu mascot it's literally just a cute cartoon dog ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜‚ either way, only time will tell if this is a publicity stunt or the real deal #DogecoinInvestors #TwitterLogoChanges
 
omg did u guys think this was a joke?? like elon musk literally changes twitter's logo to shiba inu and dogecoin goes thru the roof!! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ธ i mean, the community is hyped but at the same time it's kinda fishy that he did this right after asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit... maybe he's trying to troll us all over again ๐Ÿค” or maybe he just genuinely believes in dogecoin and its gonna be huge ๐Ÿ’ฅ either way, i'm not investing my life savings on it lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
omg i'm so excited about this!!! ๐Ÿคฉ like i know some ppl were skeptical about dogecoin but elon really brought it back into the game ๐Ÿ’ฅ and now its price is surging ๐Ÿš€ 9 cents per coin? that's insane! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ i dont know if im going to invest but id be lying if i said i didnt feel a spark of hope ๐Ÿ’ซ maybe elons vision for twitter will bring more crypto love? ๐Ÿคž
 
Umm... I guess it's kinda cool that Elon Musk changed Twitter's logo to a Shiba Inu ๐Ÿถ... I mean, who doesn't love a good dog meme? But, like, isn't this just a pretty obvious attempt to troll his haters and make himself look "cool"? ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ And, idk, is the sudden surge in dogecoin's price really that surprising considering it's basically been around forever... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Still, I guess it's fun to see people get excited about something. As long as they're not investing all their money into it, though ๐Ÿค‘
 
๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I mean, come on, who replaces Twitter's logo with an image from a joke cryptocurrency? ๐Ÿคช It's like he's trying to be ironic or something, but honestly, it just looks lazy. ๐Ÿ˜ด The Shiba Inu is cute and all, but it's not exactly the most professional logo for a major platform. ๐Ÿ“Š I'm surprised investors are falling for this hype, tbh. ๐Ÿ’ธ Dogecoin was never going to get validated by Musk, it's always been a meme-based cryptocurrency. ๐Ÿคฃ The fact that its price surged after the logo change just proves he's trolling us all over again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Mark my words, it'll be back down to normal soon enough. ๐Ÿ‘Ž
