The $258 billion lawsuit filed by Elon Musk and Tesla alleging that they manipulated the price of Dogecoin has been dismissed by the court. However, the plaintiffs who suffered losses in Dogecoin are preparing to appeal.
Background to Elon Musk’s Dogecoin Lawsuit
Investors who lost tens of thousands of dollars in Dogecoin had accused Elon Musk and Tesla of using Dogecoin as a Ponzi scheme. According to the allegations, it was alleged that Musk artificially increased the price with his tweets about Dogecoin and that the price was further manipulated when Tesla announced that it would accept Dogecoin as a payment method for souvenirs.
The lawsuit, which lasted about two years, concluded yesterday and the court rejected the claims. Judge Alvin Hellerstein stated that Elon Musk’s statements were not of a nature to mislead investors, and that such statements were more aspirational and entertaining. Hellerstein also said that Musk and Tesla’s “pump and dump” claims could not be proven.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Evan Spencer announced that they planned to appeal the court’s decision. Spencer said, “Musk’s statements and posts were not just exaggerated statements; they were much more than that. As a result, millions of people lost billions of dollars,” and indicated that the fight would continue.
Although the dismissal of the case was seen as a major victory for Musk and Tesla, the plaintiffs’ decision to appeal indicates that the issue will remain on the agenda for a long time in the legal process.
