Dogecoin investor lawsuit against Elon Musk dropped

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is often associated with Dogecoin after the businessman mentioned the memecoin on various channels in 2021.

A 2022 class-action lawsuit filed against Elon Musk and Tesla — alleging that the businessman manipulated the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) through media appearances and social media posts — was withdrawn by the plaintiffs on Nov. 14, 2024.

According to the legal filing, the plaintiffs have agreed to withdraw their appeal from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and not seek any post-judgment relief from Musk and the automotive company.

Lawyers for the investors also waived their right to appeal the case in any United States court, and both sides have agreed to drop motions to sanction the other side over the lawsuit.
