Twitter: Why has the bird logo changed to a meme?

Elon Musk has replaced Twitter’s bird symbol with an image of a shiba inu dog - the logo of dogecoin.

The billionaire made the move on Tuesday, 4 April, after his lawyers asked a federal judge to dismiss a $258bn lawsuit accusing Mr Musk of manipulating dogecoin’s price and driving it up by 36,000 per cent.
