Musk may be pushing for dog coins again.
On Monday afternoon, April 3rd, Eastern Time, the official homepage button of Twitter users was no longer marked with the blue bird Twitter logo, but with a cartoon avatar of a Chaigou.
Twitter has not previously announced any changes, and there was no response from the media on Monday regarding changes to the homepage key.
On Monday, the US stock market saw a sharp rise in DOGE, rising from $0.077 to $0.102, setting a new intraday high since December last year. The intraday increase reached 30%, but later narrowed slightly. By the close of the US stock market, it had risen by over 23% in the past 24 hours.
Twitter CEO Musk has expressed his preference for Dogcoin more than once, calling it the "people's cryptocurrency" and his "favorite" currency. He has also released Dogcoin emoticons multiple times.
Last June, it was reported on Wall Street that investors sued Musk for engaging in dog coin pyramid schemes, claiming $258 billion, accusing Musk of knowing that dog coins had no value since 2019 but still promoting them and profiting from the transaction. Investors believe that Musk used his position as the world's richest man to operate and manipulate a pyramid scheme of dog coins to gain profits, increase exposure, and find fun for himself.
But just that month, despite becoming a defendant, Musk still tweeted that he would continue to support Dogcoin.
Before the recent changes to Twitter's homepage icon, Twitter had just caused controversy due to a change in its authentication system. Twitter stated that starting from April 1st, its blue verification mark will be exclusive to paying members, and accounts with a blue check mark will have their mark removed if they do not pay.
Last Saturday, several mainstream media outlets, including The New York Times, CNN, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and Politico, stated that they will not pay for Twitter's tags.
Twitter's new Twitter Blue subscription service stipulates that institutions like The New York Times must pay $1000 per month to retain their Twitter account's Golden Hook authentication mark. Individual journalists and other individual Twitter users are required to pay at least $8 per month to receive a blue tick authentication mark and other benefits, such as priority display positions in tweet replies, fewer word limits on tweets, and the ability to initiate surveys and votes through tweets.
Last Saturday, a Twitter user reminded Musk that the New York Times opposes payment for authentication. Musk replied that we will remove the authentication. A few hours later, he tweeted that he would give some previous authentication accounts a grace period of several weeks. Unless they told us that they would not pay, we would delete the authentication. But that tweet about the grace period has now been deleted by Musk.
Last Sunday, the New York Times main account, which has 55 million followers on Twitter, lost its authentication mark, but some sub sector accounts of the media still have authentication marks, such as the travel sector and Golden Hook authentication. A spokesperson for the New York Times reiterated on the same day that they will not pay a monthly fee for obtaining Twitter authentication.
Musk criticized the New York Times for hypocrisy on Twitter that day, stating that they were very aggressive in forcing everyone to pay for their subscription content. He also said that the newspaper's tweets on Twitter were meager and unreadable, and that if they only published their own popular articles, they could have had much more real fans than they do now.
