As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I must say that this ruling by Judge Hellerstein is a breath of fresh air. It underscores the importance of free speech and the need to differentiate between ambitious goals and investment advice.


As a researcher, I am reporting that in the year 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed against me and my company, Tesla, alleging a manipulative scheme to influence the price of Dogecoin, a growing cryptocurrency. However, on a recent Thursday, Judge Hellerstein, sitting in federal court, dismissed the case entirely, which signifies that it cannot be brought up again, marking its final closure.

The trial was launched in June 2022 by several investors who claimed that they were harmed by Musk’s tweet on Dogecoin. The investors stated that Musk’s tweets and comments, including his assertion that he became the CEO of Dogecoin and his proposal to launch a Dogecoin to the moon using SpaceX, were misleading. They remarked that these messages continued to drive Dogecoin’s value up and burdened them financially once the price dropped.

Court Dismisses Dogecoin Lawsuit, Finds Musk’s Comments Were Not Investment Advice

Judge Hellerstein explained that Elon Musk’s statements should be viewed as ambitious aspirations rather than concrete claims. He emphasized that these statements should not be trusted when it comes to investment decisions. Furthermore, he stated that a prudent investor would not solely base their decisions on Musk’s remarks. Additionally, the judge dismissed allegations of market manipulation, ‘pump and dump’ schemes, and insider trading as unfounded. These accusations lacked supporting evidence in the plaintiffs’ defamation lawsuit.

The decision to drop the lawsuit against Musk and Tesla means they are now free from accusations of misconduct related to Dogecoin. This ends the courtroom dispute over whether Musk’s statements had an impact on the value of the cryptocurrency.
