Replaced a few days by the dog of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, the blue bird is again visible on the home page of Twitter.
It took several days for Elon Musk to put an end to his maneuver. Twitter’s iconic blue bird gave way to a dog earlier this week. The logo of the social network had been exchanged with that of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency. From now on, the platform once again welcomes its real logo.
A provocation from the billionaire
This change had caused a jump in the price of Dogecoin. In the space of one day, a 26% increase was observed. Renowned as a parody cryptocurrency, this surge has driven the cost of a Dogecoin from just over seven cents to around nine cents.
In reality, changing the Twitter logo might just be a diversion from Elon Musk. The social network’s new boss placed the Shiba Inu as a symbol of the platform as he faced a legal attack. He is accused of inflating the price of this cryptocurrency “by more than 36,000% over the past two years before letting it crash,” according to the complaint.
The arrival of the dogecoin dog on Twitter’s home page is therefore more akin to a provocation by the billionaire. It came on Monday, April 3, a few days after Elon Musk’s lawyers asked to dismiss the complaint in question.
