“Tesla merch buyable with Dogecoin”

Shortly after he became Twitter’s biggest shareholder in April, Musk suggested a raft of changes to the social media giant’s Twitter Blue premium subscription service, including giving users an option to pay in Dogecoin.

Plaintiff said Dogecoin’s selloff began around the time Musk hosted the NBC show “Saturday Night Live and, playing a fictitious financial expert on a “Weekend Update” segment, called Dogecoin “a hustle.” He claims that this is when the fraudulent investment scheme began. Plaintiff uses those tweets and Musk’s own references to himself as the “Doge father”. The price of Dogecoin has been dropping like a bomb over the past year.
