In an unexpected twist, the iconic Twitter bird logo was recently replaced with the Internet sensation known as Dogecoin (DOGE), increasing the value of the meme crypto. The change occurred after billionaire Elon Musk purchased the social media giant for $44 billion in October 2022.
Various Twitter users have expressed mixed feelings about the new logo. Some find it amusing and in line with the kind of antics Elon is known for, whereas others are wondering if the platform has been hacked or if this is simply some kind of joke.
Some have even viewed the logo change as a diversion from the ongoing Twitter Blue kerfuffle. Twitter Blue, a subscription service which enables users to purchase verified status with a blue tick, is replacing the previous system that reserved blue ticks for notable accounts, with legacy accounts required to pay a monthly fee to retain verification.
However, almost all prominent media companies, celebrities, and politicians have refused to pay the fee, posing a major problem for the social media platform as there are many accounts which can simply buy verification status now, to the point where it might not mean much anymore.
