The place of the logo in the form of a blue bird on the main page of the Twitter account on the evening of April 3 was taken by the symbol of the Dogecoin (DOGE) cryptocurrency, the Shiba Inu. The price of the coin reacted by growth.

In June 2022, US resident Keith Johnson sued Musk, as well as his companies SpaceX and Tesla, for promoting the Dogecoin “cryptocurrency pyramid”. The plaintiff demanded $258 billion in damages and compensation.
In April, the billionaire’s lawyers asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit, calling the claims “a bizarre fabrication.”
In October, the entrepreneur closed the deal to acquire the social network for $44 billion.
At the time, Musk was Twitter’s largest shareholder after purchasing a 9.2% stake in the company in April for $2.89 billion.
