This gave Dogecoin (DOGE) a huge boost as retail investors entered the so-called memecoin. As a result, Dogecoin rose from less than $ 0.10 to an all-time high of $ 0.75 in a Musk-led deal.

Dogecoin bulls failed and retail investors suffered huge losses. According to a report from the New York Post, Musk and his companies now have consequences for their alleged involvement in Dogecoin mining.

Keith Johnson, a failed DOGE investor, has filed a lawsuit against the entrepreneur and his companies. The plaintiff alleges that Musk allegedly lured him out of his money by “operating a dogecoin crypto pyramid scheme.”
