Musk shared a humorous post on his account featuring the 'doge' meme in a car telling a police officer, who seems to be checking his driving license, that his photo has been changed. It is important to note that there was no change to Twitter's mobile app.
According to Variety, Musk, who bought Twitter last fall in a $44 billion deal, is a well-known superfan of the Doge meme. He has promoted Dogecoin both on Twitter and during his appearance last year hosting "Saturday Night Live."
The effect on the cryptocurrency: After the change to Twitter's web logo on Monday, the value of Dogecoin rose more than 25 percent.
