On April 3rd, many foreign netizens quickly realized something was wrong after logging into the Twitter interface:
A "dog head" suddenly appears in the upper left corner of the interface
Take a closer look, isn't this?
Well, this is the "dog head" emoticon pack that has swept the world and is familiar to netizens - Doge.
The logo of Little Blue Bird on Twitter was replaced overnight with a Doge emoticon pack
Many netizens' first reaction when they see this dog head logo is that April Fool's Day is not over yet??
Of course, you don't have to think about it carefully to guess that Twitter's current boss, Elon Musk, was able to do this
Musk did not elaborate on changing the logo to a Doge emoticon pack. As usual, he posted two tweets as an explanation.
The first tweet is a manga:
Doge, who was sitting in the car, presented his identification to the police, which showed the previous Twitter logo, Little Blue Bird.
Doge Doge said to the police, 'That's an old photo...'
Musk used this manga as if to convey his intention of changing the logo from Blue Bird to Doge emoticon pack.
The second tweet is like Musk explaining to everyone why he changed his logo.
He posted a screenshot on his tweet of a conversation he had with a netizen (self proclaimed WSB Chairman) a long time ago.
In this conversation, the netizen said, "Hurry up and buy Twitter and change the Little Blue Bird logo to Doge
Musk replied, "Haha, that would be very cool
Above the screenshot, Musk's caption:
Promise to be fulfilled
It seems that according to Musk's own explanation, changing the logoSuch a moveJust to fulfill the parody promise made to a netizen at the beginning, there is no special meaning
However, in the eyes of some media, things are far from as simple as they seem:
After Musk changed the Twitter logo from Blue Bird to Doge emoticons, the price of the well-known cryptocurrency Dogecoin increased by 30%.
Changing the logo to a Doge emoticon pack may be another provocative move by Musk to intentionally push up the price of dog coins?
Speaking of it, it is rumored that Musk has been manipulating the price of dog coins to make huge profits for more than a day or two.
DogeCoinOriginally in 2013, two IT projects created a cryptocurrency by randomly changing the Bitcoin code and using the world-renowned Chaigou emoticon pack Doge as the name in order to spoof the cryptocurrency.
Who could have imagined that this cryptocurrency, which even its founder admitted to being a prank and had little actual value, was repeatedly rising in price due to the widespread promotion and false pursuit of retail investors.
This group of dog coin enthusiastsinsaneThe craze also caught Musk's attention.
A few years ago, Musk began occasionally commenting on dog coins, and every conversation he had quickly influenced the price of dog coins.
In 2021, Musk tweeted several times stating his support for dog coins, triggering a wave of skyrocketing prices.
Afterwards, Musk claimed that Dogcoin was a scam, and the price of Dogcoin plummeted again.
On April Fool's Day in 2021, Musk joked that he would use SpaceX to bring a dog coin to the moon, triggering another rise in dog coin prices
Since then, there have been reports accusing Musk of maliciously manipulating the price of dog coins, buying low and selling high privately, and harvesting retail investors.
Not only that, Musk has also started to be highly bound to dog coins, and once there is any disturbance in the market, the price of dog coins will also react quickly.
In October 2022, just after Musk acquired Twitter, he posted a photo of a Chaigou wearing a Twitter T-shirt on his back foot, resulting in a rapid rise in dog coins.
Yesterday, Musk even changed the Little Blue Bird logo to a Doge emoticon pack. You should know that Doge emoticon packs are the logo of Doggy Coin. With such a clear linkage, how could Doggy Coin not have experienced a surge?
Some people in the cryptocurrency industry even jokingly say:
Dogs are the best friends of humans, but the best friend of dog coins must be Musk
However, Musk, who has always been obsessed with Doggy Coins and frequently posts Doge emoji packs in various ways, was ultimately targeted and accused of manipulating the currency price.
In June last year, an investor sued Musk in court, accusing him of continuously promoting dog coins since 2019, even though he knew they had no value. The Ponzi pyramid scheme, which involved dog coins, demanded compensation of $258 billion from him.
The prosecution lawyer claims that Musk used his (former) position as the world's richest man to operate and manipulate the Dog Coin Pyramid scam, obtain windfall profits, increase exposure, and of course, bring himself pleasure
On March 31st, a few days before changing the Twitter logo, Musk commissioned a lawyer to request the court to revoke the $258 billion claim lawsuit and issued a statement through the lawyer:
I just posted some harmless tweets about dog coins, which is purely a prank, and I have never manipulated the price of dog coins.
I don't know if it was to show that he was always just a "prank," but a few days later, Musk changed his Twitter logo to a Doge emoticon pack. Anyway, the price of dog coins has risen again with the naked eye
It is unknown whether Musk has profited excessively from it.
But what is certain is that netizens have gained fun again from this new wave of pranks
Pushing has turned into a woof
New design proposal
Look at the new logo I designed

It can only be said that this wave of operations is still very Musk
