Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has frequently made headlines since taking over in October of last year for implementing new policies and modifications to the microblogging site.
Musk’s Intiatives
In continuation, the 51-year-old billionaire updated Twitter once more, substituting the Dogecoin cryptocurrency’s “doge” meme for the iconic “Blue Bird” logo. The face of a Shiba Inu appears in the meme known as “doge.”
For example, the “bluebird” logo has already been used as a home button on the web version. Users of Twitter noticed on Monday the “doge” meme, which was created as a joke in 2013 and is a component of the Dogecoin blockchain and cryptocurrency logo.
Musk also made a hilarious post on his account in which he showed the “doge” meme in the car and informed the police officer, apparently looking at his driving license, that his picture had been changed.
Notably, Twitter’s mobile app remained unchanged. According to ANI, citing Variety, the Doge image “a Shiba Inu” is well-known as the cryptocurrency and blockchain for Dogecoin. It was created as a joke in 2013 to mock other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
After agreeing to buy the company in April, Musk spent months trying to get out of the deal. He first cited concerns about the number of bots on the platform and then allegations by a company whistle-blower. According to reports, Musk contributed to the financing of Twitter’s acquisition by selling shares of Tesla worth approximately $8.5 billion.
