Elon Musk’s Dogecoin Takeover: The Twitter Logo That Barked!

by

So, picture this: it’s early April 2023, and Elon Musk, the man who thinks he’s the real-life Tony Stark, decides to give Twitter a makeover. Instead of the usual blue bird, we get a Dogecoin mascot—yes, the adorable Shiba Inu that’s basically the canine version of a meme. This shocking transformation happened on April 3, right when Musk was busy rebranding Twitter as “X.” Because why not? 🤷‍♀️

DOGE briefly replaced Twitter’s blue bird logo

Now, let’s talk about Musk’s love affair with Dogecoin. This guy has been waving the DOGE flag long before he dropped $44 billion on Twitter. Naturally, when the Doge took over the logo, the crypto community lost their minds. DOGE shot up by 8% and then skyrocketed by 30% because, apparently, they thought Musk was finally going to make DOGE the official currency of Twitter. Spoiler alert: it’s not. 🤑

Before he even bought the platform, Musk was all about integrating DOGE for tipping content creators. Meanwhile, Jack Dorsey was busy giving Bitcoin and Ethereum the VIP treatment. Talk about a crypto love triangle! 💔

Fun fact: Dogecoin was created in 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a joke. Yes, a joke! And now it’s worth billions. In December 2021, Musk announced that Tesla would accept DOGE for merchandise. Because nothing says “I love you” like buying a Tesla with a meme coin. 🚗💨

Musk’s vast support for Dogecoin continues

Thanks to Musk’s tweets, in May 2021, DOGE hit an all-time high of $0.7376. He even dubbed himself “The DogeFather” and promoted DOGE on Saturday Night Live. I mean, who needs a career in comedy when you can just tweet your way to the top? 😂

Fast forward to 2025, and Musk is using DOGE as the name for his new project: the US Department of Government Efficiency. Yes, you heard that right. He’s the boss now, and he calls it D.O.G.E. But don’t get too excited; he’s made it clear that the US government has no plans to use Dogecoin or any other cryptocurrency. So, back to reality, folks! 😅

As of now, DOGE is the ninth largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $22.8 billion. It’s even ahead of Cardano’s ADA. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of ADA, once suggested that Musk might be one of the biggest DOGE holders. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be the king of memes? 👑
