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 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.

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.
