Musk addressed the change Monday afternoon, tweeting, “as promised” above an image of a year-old conversation in which another user suggested that Musk “just buy Twitter” and “change the bird logo to a doge.”  The doge logo appeared on the site two days after Musk asked a judge to throw out a $258 billion racketeering lawsuit accusing him of running a pyramid scheme to support the dogecoin, according to Reuters.

 

Here is a screen cap for what it looks like for me. 

 

 

(I use Kubuntu Linux which has KDE instead of Gnome.  So I choose to use a browser called Fallkon that runs on the same core components as chrome and edge. In case anyone is curious.  But that's not the point.

It wasn’t clear whether the logo change was permanent. Musk has been known to use Twitter to troll both his fans and his critics.

If it is then the name Twitter no longer makes sense.   On some things Musk shows he can be a very good systems thinker. Then he lets his inner child do silly things.

Oh, I don’t use Twitter through a browser. Only via app. And in the app it is still a bird!
