Elon Musk Recalls Iconic Dogecoin Logo Prank on Twitter

Elon Musk, tech billionaire and owner of X (formerly Twitter), recently responded to a tweet from X user “DogeDesigner,” reminiscing about a viral moment from 2023 when Musk briefly changed the Twitter logo to the iconic Doge meme. The move, which took place in April 2023, replaced Twitter’s classic blue bird with the Shiba Inu image synonymous with Dogecoin (DOGE), sparking massive buzz in both the crypto and tech communities.

Reacting to DogeDesigner’s tweet—“Elon Musk once replaced this platform’s logo with the iconic Doge meme”—Musk, now using the X handle “Kekius Maximus,” simply replied, “That was awesome,” followed by a laughing emoji. The statement reignited nostalgia among Dogecoin supporters and reminded followers of Musk’s longtime affinity for the meme cryptocurrency.

At the time of the logo switch, DOGE’s price surged by about 8%, with another 30% rally shortly after, as investors speculated on potential Dogecoin integration into the platform. Many in the crypto world saw this as a sign Musk might adopt DOGE as a tipping or transaction currency within the social platform’s ecosystem.

Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022, has consistently supported Dogecoin—whether through tweets, public endorsements, or hints at future utility. His actions have repeatedly influenced DOGE’s market value, making him a central figure in the coin’s ongoing popularity.

This brief logo change remains one of the most memorable intersections of crypto and social media, showcasing how Musk’s influence extends beyond Tesla and SpaceX into the heart of Web3 culture.
