Dogecoin investors who said Musk and his company Tesla committed fraud and insider trading are withdrawing their appeal from an August 29 dismissal of their case.

On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump picked Musk and biotechnology company founder Vivek Ramaswany to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, whose acronym echoes dogecoin's name. The case is Gorog et al v. Musk et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 22-05037.

Dogecoin is making headlines after President-elect Donald Trump announced the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency on X this past Wednesday. This meme coin was worth 16 cents on Election Day and has since more than doubled to a high of nearly 39 cents on Nov.
