Dogecoin Lawsuit Dismissed, Community Relieved
In a significant development, the $248 billion class-action lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk over his alleged misleading statements about Dogecoin has been dropped.
The plaintiffs accused Musk of causing substantial financial losses to investors due to price fluctuations following his appearances on shows like Saturday Night Live and his use of the Doge mascot on Twitter.
Lawyers for both Musk and the investors informed a Manhattan federal judge that they wanted to end the case. This decision includes withdrawing any pending motions and appeals.

The Dogecoin Foundation, which has supported core developers, founders, and community members throughout the legal battle, expressed relief over the dismissal. The Foundation had successfully advocated for the removal of these individuals from the lawsuit.
In a statement, the Foundation highlighted the burden that the lawsuit had placed on the Dogecoin community.
