Twitter Logo Changed: Elon Musk Replaces Blue Bird With 'Doge' Meme

Twitter's famous blue bird logo has been replaced with the "doge" meme in an unexpected turn of events.  Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, acknowledged the update by posting a conversation and replied "as promised." Musk purchased the social media giant for $44 billion last year.

The Shiba Inu dog meme, which is also the logo of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, has taken the place of Twitter's blue bird. Surprisingly, the change to Doge is only available on Twitter's web version, not the Twitter app.

Musk announced the transition from Blue Bird to Doge on Twitter. The CEO of Twitter originally posted a meme of a police officer checking a document, which Doge says is an old photograph.

Musk also posted an image of a chat he had with a Twitter user before taking over the company, with the caption "as promised." Throughout the chat, Musk asks if a new platform is needed, to which the user offers that Musk instead acquires Twitter and replaces the blue bird logo with a Doge.

According to a news agency, the value of Dogecoin increased by over 30% after Twitter changed its home page logo to the dog meme.

Since taking over the social media company last October, Elon Musk has implemented several modifications. Twitter just announced that it would discontinue its old verified program on April 1, requiring users to pay $8 per month for the coveted blue checkmarks.

Twitter has removed the verified checkmark from the New York Times' Twitter page after the company stated it will not pay for a verified check.

Musk commented on the matter, saying, ‘They voluntarily did exactly what I wanted them to do’. 

He was responding to a user's statement that random Twitter users are now verified but the New York Times is not.
