Dogecoin Lawsuit Against Elon Musk and Tesla
šāš¦ŗš¦®šāš¦ŗš¦®šāš¦ŗš¦®
The Dogecoin lawsuit, brought by Dogecoin investors, alleged that Elon Musk manipulated the cryptocurrencyās price for personal gain through tweets, public appearances, and other promotional activities.
These actions reportedly included Muskās appearance on NBCās āSaturday Night Live,ā where he jokingly referred to Dogecoin as a āhustle.ā
Following the August dismissal of the case, investors appealed the decision and also sought sanctions against Muskās legal team, claiming interference in the appeal process. However, as part of the stipulation filed this week, the investors withdrew both the appeal and their sanctions request.
Musk and Tesla, in response, dropped their motion to sanction the investorsā lawyers, whom they accused of pursuing a āfrivolousā and ever-changing lawsuit. Originally filed in 2022, the case underwent four amendments and sought $258 billion in damages.
Judgeās Decision and Market Manipulation Claims
In dismissing the lawsuit, Judge Hellerstein ruled that the plaintiffs failed to provide evidence that Muskās statements about Dogecoin constituted securities fraud.
The judge noted that Muskās tweets ā including claims that Dogecoin was the āfuture currency of Earthā and could be sent āto the moonā by SpaceX ā were not sufficient grounds for reasonable investors to base financial decisions.
The judge also dismissed related claims of insider trading and market manipulation, citing a lack of clarity and supporting evidence. The dismissal brought an end to the two-year legal battle that had drawn attention to the influence of public figures on cryptocurrency markets.
