Who else thinks Elon Musk is just trolling with the change from "bird" to "doge" as Twitter's masthead? Or is something else going on?

nah he’s highly regarded

What else could it be?

Well, if you take it at face value, it could mean he intends to introduce Doge as a component of Twitter, like bitcoin works with Nostr.

Wow that would be really dumb. I hadn't thought of that.

That's what I immediately thought when I saw it. "Oh, he's gonna implement zaps with Doge." Of course, that would mean it is then an unregistered security trading platform.

Fronting as a DOGE believer in advance of court proceedings against him for public manipulation of an unregistered security.

But does being a "believer" make any difference?

Establishes his intent is to support a project “he believes in” rather than the truth, which is he is manipulating sheeple to invest in a meme coin for his personal benefit.

Surprising to see it enforced, but shilling unregistered securities for the purpose of personal enrichment is against US securities law. As a director of a publicly traded company, he is held to a higher standard.

Maybe a little pump and dump play for his inner circle of vcs.

I've been wondering, since day one, if his end goal is to run Twitter into the ground. I would rejoice if that dumpster fire of a website went away. 🔥🔥🔥
