Elon Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, are facing a $258 billion lawsuit that accuses the billionaire of allegedly pumping Dogecoin as a part of a racketeering scheme. The lawsuit comes as the larger cryptocurrency market has crashed in recent weeks.

The complaint alleges that “Defendants falsely and deceptively claim that Dogecoin is a legitimate investment when it has no value at all.
