Elon Musk Recalls His Legendary DOGE Twitter-Logo Move: 'That Was Awesome'

X owner and tech mogul Elon Musk has reacted to a tweet from X user “DogeDesigner”, when the latter published a reminder about a “prank” made by Musk on Twitter two years ago.

Making $DOGE the Twitter logo was "awesome": Musk

Back then, Musk briefly changed the Twitter logo with an image of the famous Doge meme which also inspired the original meme cryptocurrency $DOGE and became its mascot. It happened in April 2023 and $DOGE existed as the Twitter logo for about a week.

“DogeDesigner” tweeted: “Elon Musk once replaced this platform’s logo with the iconic Doge meme.” Musk, who is currently using an X name “Kekius Maximus”, responded to it, showing that he does not regret that move with the logo loved by Doge fans: “that was awesome,” adding a “face with tears of joy” emoji to this comment.

When Musk replaced the blue bird logo with $DOGE, the meme coin’s price jumped by approximately 8% and then rapidly added another 30%. The Dogecoin community decided that Musk had finally begun to integrate his favorite meme coin $DOGE on Twitter (before it was rebranded as X). Prior to that, the Tesla CEO closed the deal of purchasing the renowned microblogging platform, Twitter, for $44 billion in October 2022.
