đš Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and a $258 Billion Lawsuit: Whatâs Happening?
The legal saga involving Elon Musk, Tesla, and allegations of manipulating Dogecoinâs price is nearing its conclusion. Hereâs a quick breakdown:
đ What Was the Case About?
Investors accused Musk and Tesla of influencing Dogecoinâs price through tweets and public comments, such as:
âą Referring to himself as âDogecoinâs CEO.â
âą Adding the DOGE symbol to his bio on X (formerly Twitter).
âą Promoting DOGE on Tesla platforms and during his 2021 Saturday Night Live appearance.
These actions allegedly caused DOGEâs price to surge, benefiting Musk. The class-action lawsuit demanded a whopping $258 billion in damages.
đ° Whatâs the Latest?
âą In August, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed the lawsuit.
âą Investors appealed, but theyâve now withdrawn their case.
âą The case officially ends once the judge approves the withdrawal motions.
Interestingly, the decision to drop the case comes just two days after Muskâs nomination to the new Department of Government Efficiency by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Following the news, DOGEâs price surged again! đ
đ€ What Does This Mean for Dogecoin?
While the lawsuitâs end brings some closure, DOGEâs price remains heavily influenced by Muskâs actions and public sentiment. Traders should stay informed and consider the risks before diving into meme coin volatility.
