Elon Musk was accused of creating a multi-level model to trick many people into investing in Dogecoin and was ordered to pay $ 258 billion.
Investor Keith Johnson filed a lawsuit in a court in Manhattan, New York on June 14, against Elon Musk and his two companies, SpaceX and Tesla. In the application, this person identified himself as "a US citizen who was cheated of money, mistakenly considering Dogecoin as a legitimate investment", so he poured a lot of money into it.
"They have known Dogecoin is worthless since 2019, but still actively promote it to make a profit. Musk used his inherent pedestal as the world's richest man to operate and manipulate the multi-level model of the company. Dogecoin for profit and enjoyment," the lawsuit states.
