  Somebody got paid real american dollars to turn the Twitter logo into the doge meme

  Interesting timing of Twitter changing its logo to the Doge dog... just as Elon is trying to get out of a (stupid, likely to fail) lawsuit arguing that he pumped & dumped dogecoin.  —  https://www.theverge.com/... …

  Doge for some reason is showing up on Twitter and I can only assume this was supposed to be an April Fools joke that took 3 days to roll out because no one knows how the site works anymore https://twitter.com/...

  It took every remaining Twitter employee working over the weekend to replace the bird with the Doge, but everyone can agree the results are Le Epic Awesomesauce https://twitter.com/...

  NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - Elon Musk asked a U.S. judge on Friday to throw out a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. https://www.reuters.com/...

  This might be it for me, whew https://twitter.com/...

  I've seen quite a few people say they're finally leaving Twitter today because of the bird logo changing into the meme doge, but from what I've heard in back channels, it was an April fool that took days to execute because everyone competent was fired 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

• @leyawn Leon on x

  sorry i'm the twitter engineer responsible for putting the doge on here. it was supposed to be for april fools but got implemented late because elon kept on emailing us to make it “more epic” and we couldn't figure out what he meant

• @carnage4life Dare Obasanjo on x

  Twitter has fired so many people that the April Fool's joke was two days late. 🤦🏾‍♂️ https://twitter.com/...

• @sfstandard @sfstandard on x

  It's a bird! It's a prank! No, it's probably just Elon Musk thumbing his nose at Dogecoin investors who accuse him of racketeering. https://sfstandard.com/...

  twitter technicians hurriedly at work removing the doge icon and replacing it with a harambe icon

  Twitter officially a ‘pump and dump’ home as Musk helps push Dogecoin 33 percent by replacing Bird with Doge logo on homepage I have said since 2007 this is a market moving platform like no other...it's his best business model...Twitter as Citadel Sketchy as always with Musk http…

• @markhachman Mark Hachman on x

  As @bradchacos pointed out over our Slack, the whole “replacing Twitter's icon with a Doge” could very well be Musk trying to obfuscate search results for “Musk and Doge” from a massive lawsuit he's facing down. https://twitter.com/...

• @resnikoff Ned Resnikoff on x

  I know many of you think this is a desperate sub-eBaum's World attempt at ginning up some lulz — and you're not wrong — but I think it's real purpose is more likely a good old-fashioned memestock pump and dump. https://twitter.com/...

• @tvscarlkinsella Carl Kinsella on x

  oh god I feel just so sickeningly uncool to even have an account on this website https://twitter.com/...

• @popplios @popplios on x

  “doge is a reference to dogecoin” i hope you eat cement. doge is a friend from a much simpler time. she does not deserve to have her reputation tarnished by the likes of cryptoshmucks.

  Who had “buying Twitter to pump crypto” on their bingo card?

• @minimaxir Max Woolf on x

  What is the copyright status of the Doge shiba inu meme anyways? At minimum DogeCoin and friends are parodies of it, but just replacing your logo with a Doge can't be legally kosher.

  Is there anyone on earth who wants to be cool and funny more than this man and fails so severely and consistently? A witch cursed him at birth https://twitter.com/...

  Ah it's just Elon doing stuff with cryptocurrency. God this website experience is going completely down the toilet

• @lanceulanoff Lance Ulanoff on x

  Excuse me, @elonmusk, can you tell me what's up with the Doge image in place of the Twitter logo? Are you renaming Twitter to Doger? Dogger? Dogecoiner? https://twitter.com/...

• @profjeffjarviss @profjeffjarviss on x

  Think outside the box people. If your $44bn investment in social media went awry, the obvious next move is a pivot to dogecoin.
