The Toronto Star | | Apr 4, 2023
Twitter on Monday suddenly replaced its iconic blue bird logo above the desktop home tab with “doge” — the memeified shiba inu which is also the face of the cryptocurrency “dogecoin.”
- While there’s been no official explanation for why, the move came just days after Twitter CEO Elon Musk asked a judge to throw out a $258 billion lawsuit accusing him of racketeering by promoting the currency, Reuters reported.

- After the change Tuesday, he shared a screenshot of an exchange last March, in which a Twitter user suggested the billionaire “just buy” the app and “change the bird logo to a doge.” Musk replied, “Haha that would sickkk.”
