Elon Musk replaces Twitter's blue bird logo with 'Doge' meme
San Francisco: The change is currently only visible on the web version of Twitter and not on the app. The move comes as part of Musk's ongoing efforts to shake things up at the company since he acquired it in a $44 billion deal last year. Bloomberg has reported that the value of Dogecoin rose by almost 30% following the logo change.
Elon Musk announced the change of Twitter's classic blue bird logo to the "doge" meme on his Twitter account. To confirm the update, he posted a meme of a police officer checking a document, while Doge says it's an old photo. Additionally, Musk shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with a Twitter user before taking over the company, where he asked if there was a need for a new platform. The user suggested that Musk should buy Twitter and replace the blue bird logo with a Doge, to which Musk replied "as promised."
Since taking over Twitter in October, Elon Musk has implemented a number of changes to the platform. One recent change is that Twitter will be ending its old verified program on April 1, and users will have to pay $8 per month for a verified blue checkmark.
In a separate incident, Twitter removed the verified check mark from the New York Times' Twitter page after the company refused to pay for it. In response to a comment from a user about random users being verified while the New York Times wasn't, Musk said that the company did exactly what he wanted them to do.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
