This meme dog was created as a joke in 2013. Last month, someone jokingly asked if the image of a dog should be used as a logo on Twitter. Musk has since promised to do so. Musk then made it clear that he kept his word with the logo change. However, the Dogecoin price spiked after Twitter’s logo change. The price has increased by more than 30 percent.
