San Francisco: The blue bird logo of Twitter was replaced by an image of a shiba inu dog on Monday. This image is commonly known as the Doge meme and is often associated with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, has been known to promote Dogecoin on the platform.

It appears that the recent logo change on Twitter was nothing, but a prank played by the micro-blogging website. The change was initiated by Elon Musk, who shared a meme on Twitter about the altered logo and even posted screenshots of an old conversation where a user had suggested that Musk should buy Twitter and change its logo to a 'doge'. It seems like Musk's sense of humor is still going strong, even when it comes to his business ventures.

Since Monday, Twitter has been filled with a plethora of memes related to the logo alteration.

It is worth noting that the recent logo change on Twitter occurred just a few days after Elon Musk filed a petition in court seeking the dismissal of a $258 billion lawsuit filed against him by Dogecoin investors.

The investors accused Musk of promoting Dogecoin in an illegal pyramid scheme. In February 2021, Musk had tweeted in support of Dogecoin, which caused its value to increase by 44%, according to a report by Market Watch. Similarly, on Monday, the value of Dogecoin surged by 36% after Investor's Business Daily reported the news of Twitter's logo change. It seems that Musk's involvement in the world of cryptocurrency and social media continues to spark reactions and speculation.

 

On Tuesday morning, the official Twitter account of Dogecoin posted a famous photo of the dog that inspired the Doge meme, along with some interesting facts about her. The tweet revealed that the dog's name is Kabosu and she still lives with her owner, Atsuko Sato, in Sakura, Japan. Kabosu was a rescue dog and gained popularity as a meme after Atsuko shared photos of her on her blog in 2010, including the one used for the meme. Kabosu turned 17 years old on November 2 last year, which is quite an impressive feat for a dog. The tweet from Dogecoin's official account sheds light on the origins of the meme and the dog behind it, which has become a symbol of the cryptocurrency.

Mumbai (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday described Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s tragic death in a plane crash as unbelievable, and said he had lost a good friend.

Fadnavis said “today” (January 28) will be a government holiday and there will be a three-day state mourning as a mark of respect to Pawar.

Ajit Pawar’s death has left a void that will never be filled, he said. “After working closely together, it is unbelievable that he is no more,” Fadnavis said.

Talking to reporters, Fadnavis described Pawar as a people’s leader who knew the state well and had a deep understanding of the issues in Maharashtra. He said it takes several years to build and establish such leadership.

Fadnavis said he had apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the tragedy. The CM said he had also spoken with Ajit Pawar’s cousin Supriya Sule and his son Parth Pawar.

“Both (Deputy CM) Eknath Shinde and I are leaving for Baramati now. Once their entire family gathers in Baramati, we will share further details,” he said.

The entire state stands by Pawar’s family and his party NCP in this hour of grief, he added.

Ajit Pawar, 66, and four other persons were killed after an aircraft carrying them crashed in Maharashtra’s Pune district on Wednesday morning, officials said. The incident occurred when the plane carrying Pawar and others landed near Baramati, they said.

Several state BJP leaders, including Ashish Shelar, Ravindra Chavan and Chandrashekhar Bawankule, expressed deep grief over Pawar’s passing.

“This heart-wrenching incident has left the mind numb. Maharashtra has lost an experienced, dutiful and resolute leader,” state minister Shelar said.

Pawar left a distinct imprint on the state’s politics through his strong grip over administration, decisiveness and relentless drive for Maharashtra’s all-round progress. “Firmness, discipline, punctuality and tireless dedication were defining aspects of his personality,” he said.

BJP state president Ravindra Chavan said Maharashtra’s politics was unimaginable without Pawar. He said Pawar was known as a dynamic leader with a powerful command over administration and an unwavering focus on the state’s comprehensive development.

He said Pawar held the record for serving the longest tenure as deputy CM in the state’s history and left an indelible mark while handling key portfolios such as irrigation, energy and finance. “With his passing, Maharashtra has lost a firm, disciplined, punctual and indefatigable leader. This void can never be filled,” Chavan said.

Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule described Pawar as a senior friend and guide. “Even now, it is difficult to accept that this tragedy has really happened,” he said. Pawar would be remembered as a true people’s leader who gave clear direction and unstoppable momentum to Maharashtra’s all-round development, Bawankule said.

Recalling Pawar’s immense administrative experience, Bawankule said he had personally sought the NCP leader’s advice on several occasions.

“The loss of Ajitdada is not merely the departure of one leader; it is a profound loss for Maharashtra itself. The nation has lost a visionary statesman, and I have lost a dear elder friend and guide,” Bawankule said, adding that the reality of Pawar no longer being among them felt impossible to accept.
