- Yesterday, Elon Musk introduced to the world, the new CEO of Twitter “Floki.”
- In his latest tweet, Musk stated that the new CEO of Twitter is “amazing.”
A tweet from the Tesla King can easily move the market. As recently when Elon Musk shared a picture of his dog, the memecoin marked an upsurge in its price. The popular memes coins Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Floki Inu noted an upsurge after the tweet from Musk.
Meet the new Twitter “CEO”
Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of Twitter, recently shared a tweet in which he introduced his dog as the new CEO of Twitter. He wrote “the new CEO of Twitter is amazing.” In his tweet the dog was shown dressed in an iconic Silicon Valley-style black turtleneck and sat authoritatively in a large armchair behind a desk.
Unsurprisingly, the prices of memecoins such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Floki soared. The price gains illustrate the capacity of Musk to mint money with just a few trigger-happy taps of his thumbs as well as his focus on his Twitter persona, as he reportedly ordered 80 Twitter engineers to boost his engagement at the time of the Super Bowl.

In December last year, Musk said he would resign from his post as the CEO of Twitter. He also polled his more than 100 Million followers about whether he should stay on his post and the majority of voters preferred that he step down. Nevertheless, this is not the first time that a single tweet by Musk shook up the market.
