Breaking: Dogecoin Lawsuit Against Elon Musk Ends As Investors Withdraw Appeal

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with more than a decade of experience under my belt, I must say that the dismissal and withdrawal of the Dogecoin lawsuit against Elon Musk and Tesla comes as a relief. I’ve seen my fair share of lawsuits and market manipulations in this wild world of cryptocurrencies, but this one has been quite the rollercoaster ride.

A Dogecoin lawsuit against Elon Musk has come to a close after investors decided to withdraw their appeal. The case, which accused Musk of fraud and insider trading related to the cryptocurrency, had been dismissed earlier this year.

The withdrawal additionally proposes lifting any associated penalties towards Musk’s legal team, signifying the conclusion of a prominent legal dispute in federal court.

Dogecoin Lawsuit Against Elon Musk and Tesla Ends

The initial Dogecoin lawsuit, brought forth by Dogecoin investors, accused Elon Musk and his electric vehicle company, Tesla, of deceitful actions aimed at artificially inflating the value of Dogecoin through manipulation. The investors argued that Musk’s tweets, interviews, television appearances (such as on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”), and other public statements were exploited to generate profits at their expense.

Originally, the investors aimed for a compensation of $258 billion due to alleged damages, but over the course of two years, they adjusted their lawsuit four times. On August 29, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed the case, arguing that it was implausible for reasonable investors to prove securities fraud based on Elon Musk’s public statements about Dogecoin. The judge added that while Musk referred to Dogecoin as “the future currency of Earth,” such comments did not provide enough grounds to conclude he was manipulating the market or engaging in insider trading.

Following this development, investors officially withdrew their appeal and dismissed their motion accusing Musk’s legal team of misconduct this week. Similarly, Musk and Tesla also abandoned their motion aimed at sanctioning the investors’ lawyer for what they deemed a “baseless” and constantly changing lawsuit. As a consequence, both parties filed a consent to dismiss the case in Manhattan federal court on Thursday evening, waiting for Judge Hellerstein’s final approval.
