Elon Musk Responding to Motion to Remove Tesla Team from Dogecoin Case
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla, finds himself embroiled in a legal battle regarding his alleged involvement in an illegal racketeering scheme linked to the popular Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

This article delves into the details of the motion, Elon Musk’s response, and the implications for the ongoing $258 billion lawsuit.
