Google Trends data shows that almost three-quarters (72 percent) of the 25 highest-trending searches relating to Twitter over the last seven days regard the logo change, which has created a buzz among聽internet users.

Why Has The Twitter Logo Changed?
In March 2022, a user suggested that Musk buys Twitter and changes the bird logo to a doge. Elon responded with approval.聽 Musk has now tweeted a screenshot of that conversation with the caption 鈥榓s promised.鈥�
Elon Musk is famously associated with the coin and is among its most high-profile investors. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla will accept Dogecoin payments for its products. He is accused of intentionally inflating the coin鈥檚 price and faces a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit by cryptocurrency investors who describe it as a 鈥榩yramid scheme.鈥�
A spokesperson at聽6Takarakuji聽commented on the findings:
鈥淎fter removing Twitter’s iconic bird logo, the effects of his actions are evident in the surge of user interest in Dogecoin, as investors rush to buy Doge to catch any potential yields while the price shoots up. But how long will it last? That could depend on how long Twitter keeps its new logo and if users find the joke funny for long enough.鈥�
