Elon Musk's Dogecoin Lawsuit Concludes Without Appeal

Investors drop their $258 billion case against Musk, ending legal battles over alleged market manipulation.

  • Investors accused Musk of manipulating Dogecoin prices through public statements and media appearances, including his 'Saturday Night Live' stint.
  • U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed the case in August, citing lack of evidence for securities fraud based on Musk's tweets.
  • Both parties agreed to withdraw appeals and sanctions motions, with the decision pending judge approval.
  • The lawsuit was marked by claims of a 'pump and dump' scheme, which the judge found unsubstantiated.
  • Musk was recently appointed to co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, a nod to Dogecoin's acronym, by President-elect Donald Trump.
