Elon Musk

<p>Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has denied allegations that he holds a Dogecoin portfolio linked to insider trading. The ongoing class-action lawsuit accuses Musk of being involved in a racketeering scheme to support Dogecoin. The plaintiffs are seeking $260 billion in damages. According to court documents, two wallets associated with Musk sold 1.4 billion Dogecoins, worth over $124 million, over a two-day period in April.</p>

<p>This question is currently being addressed by the ongoing class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk in Manhattan, United States. The man often referred to as The Dogefather or the CEO of Dogecoin is accused of market manipulation and <a href="http://cointribune.com/dogecoin-elon-musk-poursuivi-pour-delit-dinitie/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">insider trading</a>. His maneuvers allegedly involved artificially inflating the price of DOGE. The man who now heads Twitter had changed his logo from a bird to the Shiba Inu dog, causing a <a href="http://cointribune.com/elon-musk-remplace-le-logo-twitter-par-dogecoin-hausse-immediate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">massive surge</a> that propelled the price of DOGE to $0.10.</p>
<div class="my-4">

 </div> 
</div> 
<p>Taking advantage of this increase, a whale, an investor holding a significant amount of DOGE, traded 1.4 billion tokens, reportedly earning $124 million at that time. Naturally, Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Shapiro, has denied the allegations that his client engaged in market manipulation and insider trading.</p> 
<h2 id="h-musk-tackles-crypto-scams-on-twitter">Musk tackles crypto scams on Twitter</h2> 
<p>Perhaps to demonstrate his willingness to combat crypto scams, Elon Musk suspended the account “Explain This Bob.” It was actually an AI bot associated with the memecoin $BOB. Elon concluded that it “certainly looks like a fraudulent crypto account,” and Twitter promptly suspended it.</p> 
<p>This bot <a href="https://dailycoin.com/musk-denies-owning-dogecoin-in-260b-doge-pyramid-case/?utm_source=cryptopanic&amp;utm_medium=rss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">provided</a> responses on Crypto Twitter similar to ChatGPT. It had already gained over 400,000 followers before its suspension. Unsurprisingly, its many followers are requesting its restoration.</p> 
<p>The bot “Explain This Bob” created by Prabhu Biswal, an Indian resident, clearly demonstrates how easily crypto scams thrive on Twitter. <a href="http://cointribune.com/voici-comment-elon-musk-veut-revolutionner-twitter/(ouvre%20un%20nouvel%20onglet)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How</a> will Elon Musk succeed in resolving this problem?</p>
