Elon Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, are now facing a USD 258 billion lawsuit for being involved in a Crypto Pyramid Scheme by way of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency.
The class-action lawsuit was filed by Plaintiff Keith Johnson in the Southern District of New York. Johnson argues that Musk and his companies “falsely and deceptively claim that Dogecoin is a legitimate investment when it has no value at all.”.
He further argued that they have deceived him and others into “believing that Dogecoin is a valuable asset worth purchasing, holding, and trading.”.
It is no secret that Musk has been vocal about his support for Dogecoin. With tweets of him saying that “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto” or that “Doge will live forever”.
Not to mention with Tesla and SpaceX accepting Dogecoin for its merch and with Musk appearing on Saturday Night Live on which he referenced himself as being the “Doge Father”.
