A Dogecoin investor has sued Musk for $258 billion, accusing him of creating a “pyramid scheme” to manipulate the price of the cryptocurrency.
In the indictment, the plaintiffs allege that Musk and his company profited by first peddling Dogecoin, driving up the price of Dogecoin, and then letting its price plummet.
Dogecoin was created in 2013. In 2019, Musk began buying large quantities and frequently tweeting about Dogecoin, calling it "the people's cryptocurrency" and accepting Dogecoin as a payment method for Space X.
But in May last year, Musk once again called "Dogecoin is a scam" on the show.
After being claimed, Musk tweeted on June 19: "I will continue to support Dogecoin." Dogecoin then rose in a short time. (Wall Street News)
