Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular "Doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. Dogecoin is a Litecoin fork. Introduced as a "joke currency" on 6 December 2013, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a capitalization of US$60 million in January 2014. Compared with other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial coin production schedule: 100 billion coins were in circulation by mid-2015, with an additional 5.256 billion coins every year thereafter. As of 30 June 2015, the 100 billionth Dogecoin had been mined.   Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and  Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia. Both wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that will appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience. Dogecoin is primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter where users tip each other for creating or sharing good content. The community is very active in organising fundraising activities for deserving causes.  The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any major changes to the coin since 2015. This means that Dogecoin could get left behind and is why Shibas are leaving Dogecoin to join more advanced platforms like Ethereum. One of Dogecoin strengths is its relaxed and fun-loving community. However, this is also a weakness because other currencies are way more professional.  To purchase Dogecoin, it involves downloading a crypto wallet, setting up a crypto exchange account and then trading away for your desired crypto currency. Once we have set up an account with a DOGE currency exchange and deposited some funds, you are ready to start trading.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is trending as the community discusses the potential impact of newly launched Dogecoin ETFs and anticipates institutional investment. While some traders express frustration with recent price action, others believe Dogecoin is establishing its own identity independent of Bitcoin's movements. Bullish sentiment remains among some, who forecast significant price increases and highlight the potential for long-term growth.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Musk describes the system as “Bitcoin-style encryption,” designed to deliver privacy without compromising functionality. Older messages are labeled as unencrypted, and users can activate encryption by setting a PIN.Like X Money, XChat also represents a major step toward X becoming Musk’s vision of a universal communications hub.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/circle-stock-gains-after-jpmorgan-turns-bullish-cathie-woods-ark-invest-buys-the-dip/cLP9RYgRE3X">Circle Stock Gains Pre-Market After JPMorgan Turns Bullish, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest Buys The Dip</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk’s X Corp. (XCorp) has reportedly reached a settlement in a $128 million lawsuit brought by former top executives of Twitter, although the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed yet.According to a Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/musks-x-settles-ex-twitter-executives-128-million-severance-pay-lawsuit-2025-10-08/">report</a>, the settlement was first announced in a filing in a San Francisco federal court last week. The plaintiffs in the case are former CEO Parag Agrawal, former CFO Ned Segal, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett.The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit alleging that they were not paid $128 million in promised severance pay following the acquisition of the social media platform by Musk.In August, Musk and X settled a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;$500 million lawsuit brought by former Twitter employees over severance pay, alleging that while a 2019 plan guaranteed that most workers would receive two months of their basic salary along with one week of pay for each completed year of service, Twitter only gave some of them one month of pay at most, while many were not paid anything.Musk acquired Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion and subsequently rebranded the social media platform as X. He also laid off more than half of the company’s workforce in a bid to save costs.Last week, a federal judge&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-sec-lawsuit-twitter-texas/chCrjp3R3fd">rejected</a> Elon Musk’s bid to move a lawsuit brought forward by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Texas concerning an alleged late disclosure of his stake in Twitter.Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-737-production-rise-to-48-by-april-ryanair-says/ch6EnbNR3ir">Ryanair CEO 'Pretty Confident' Boeing 737 Production Could Rise To 48 A Month By April: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Elon Musk’s X, Ex-Twitter Executives Reach Settlement In $128 Million Severance Pay Lawsuit: Report

The plaintiffs in the case are former CEO Parag Agrawal, former CFO Ned Segal, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett.

A federal judge reportedly rejected Elon Musk’s bid to move a lawsuit brought forward by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Texas concerning an alleged late disclosure of his stake in Twitter Inc.“The Court takes Mr. Musk’s convenience seriously, but it also notes that Mr. Musk has considerable means and spends at least forty percent of his time outside his chosen forum,” US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote in an order Thursday in Washington, according to a Bloomberg&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-02/musk-loses-bid-to-move-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-to-texas">report</a>.Twitter has been subsequently renamed to X and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of xAI. The SEC sued Musk in January, just days before President Donald Trump took office, and more than two years after Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion.In its lawsuit, the SEC alleged that Musk failed to meet the deadline set by the regulator to disclose that he had accumulated at least a 5% stake in Twitter. It stated that this delay allowed Musk to acquire Twitter shares&nbsp;at a discount, costing its shareholders more than $150 million.However, Musk sought a dismissal of the lawsuit in August, with his attorneys&nbsp;arguing that it was a waste of the court’s time and taxpayer resources. “The SEC does not allege that Mr. Musk acted intentionally, deliberately, willfully, or even recklessly... Rather, the SEC alleges that Mr. Musk late-filed a single beneficial ownership form three years ago, and fully corrected any alleged error immediately upon its discovery. There is no ongoing violation,” Musk’s attorneys&nbsp;stated, according to a filing.Musk also filed a request to have the case moved from Washington to Texas. “Forcing Mr. Musk to litigate in this district would merely perpetuate and compound the harm from the SEC’s years-long campaign against him,” Musk’s attorneys said, according to the report.Also See:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/asts-stock-soars-to-all-time-high/chCr1iSR3f2">AST SpaceMobile Stock Soars To All-Time High – Here’s An Update</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Federal Judge Rejects Elon Musk’s Bid To Shift SEC Lawsuit Over Twitter Stake To Texas: Report

The SEC sued Musk in January, just days before President Donald Trump took office and more than two years after Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion.

Apple denied Elon Musk's claim that the iPhone-maker played favoritism in picking OpenAI as its AI partner, over the billionaire's xAI, according to a Bloomberg report early Wednesday.Musk's social media and AI company, X Corp.,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/elon-musk-xai-accuses-apple-openai/chsss4hRdSG">sued</a> Apple and OpenAI in August, seeking billions of dollars in damages, alleging that the iPhone maker's move hinders innovation in the AI industry and deprives consumers of choices. Before the lawsuit, Musk had <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sam-altman-fires-back-at-elon-musk-over-apples-chatgpt-favoritism-claims/chrDUplRd7g">fired a series of posts</a> on X claiming that the prime placement of OpenAI's ChatGPT app on Apple App Store's top picks and ranking pages was unfair.Seeking the dismissal of the suit, Apple's lawyers said in a court filing Tuesday that even if the company teamed up with OpenAI first, it is "widely known that Apple intends to partner with other generative AI chatbots" in the future, according to the&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-01/apple-denies-harming-musk-s-xai-by-teaming-up-with-openai">report</a>. The antitrust injury alleged by Musk's companies is based on "speculation on top of speculation," they said.X Corp. claims that Apple cannot partner with OpenAI "without simultaneously partnering with every other generative AI chatbot—regardless of quality, privacy or safety considerations, technical feasibility, stage of development, or commercial terms," Apple's lawyers wrote. "Of course, the antitrust laws do not require that."While Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman frequently find themselves at loggerheads, the Tesla founder hasn't had a significant fight with Apple before. Back in 2022, Musk criticized Apple's 30% commission on in-app purchases.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was 'neutral' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OPENAI">OpenAI</a> and 'bullish' for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">X Corp.</a> Both companies are privately held. The sentiment for <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AAPL">Apple</a> was ‘bearish.’For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Apple Denies Favoritism To OpenAI, Breach Of Antitrust Rules In Musk's Lawsuit

Seeking the dismissal of the suit, Apple's lawyers said that the iPhone maker has publicly stated that it will partner with many generative AI chatbots.

Elon Musk has asked a federal judge to dismiss a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit alleging that he cost erstwhile Twitter, Inc. shareholders money for failing to disclose his rising stake, according to a Bloomberg report.In a suit filed in January, the SEC alleged that Musk missed a deadline to file a special form stating he had accumulated at least a 5% ownership stake in Twitter before launching his takeover bid for the social media platform&nbsp;three years ago.Musk flouted securities law by waiting too long (he missed the filing deadline by 11 days), which cost Twitter shareholders more than $150 million, according to the suit.Musk's attorneys wrote in a court filing late Thursday that the suit does not allege that Musk acted willfully or recklessly, and, as such, it "is a waste of this court's time and taxpayer resources," according to the Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-29/musk-seeks-dismissal-of-sec-suit-over-twitter-stake-disclosure">report</a>.Musk's stake disclosure would have sent Twitter's stock price soaring; its investors missed out on those gains, the suit says. The billionaire has earlier said that the SEC's suit is a "campaign of harassment" against him.The lawsuit was closely watched due to its timing. It emerged when Musk had become one of the top backers of President Donald Trump,&nbsp;with whom his relationship later floundered.Musk's chaotic takeover of Twitter, now called X, raised many eyebrows at the time. After signing the deal in April 2022, he backed out, which led to Twitter management and investors suing him. He ultimately returned to close the deal in October 2024, purchasing Twitter for $44 billion.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gap-stock-snaps-6-day-winning-streak-ceo-vows-to-mitigate-tariff-pressure-denim-campaign-grabs-eyeballs/chtTdjVRdZl">Gap Stock Snaps 6-Day Winning Streak: CEO Vows To Mitigate Tariff Pressure, Denim Campaign Grabs Eyeballs</a>

Elon Musk Battles SEC Again, Seeks To Toss Lawsuit Alleging He Shortchanged Twitter Investors 3 Years Ago 

The U.S. regulator has alleged that Musk's delayed disclosure of his 5% stake buildup in 2022 ultimately caused Twitter shareholders to lose $150 million.

Sam Altman posted a picture of the Death Star, a powerful planet destroyer from the sci-fi franchise “Star Wars”, with no accompanying text, just a day ahead of OpenAI's likely unveiling of its GPT-5 AI model.The choice of the imagery, ahead of one of the most significant product rollouts, is at best odd. The Death Star was an enormous spaceship conceived by&nbsp;the series’ antagonist, Darth Sidious, and used by Darth Vader, one of pop culture's most iconic villains, to obliterate planets and intimidate rebel forces.In short, the dark side used it for galactic-scale destruction. But in true cinematic fashion, the "good guys," led by Jedi Luke Skywalker, blew it up to restore peace — until, of course, the next round of Star Wars sequels landed.The reference likely <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953264193890861114">teases</a> the massive capabilities of the upcoming GPT-5, although the "evil" connotation isn't the best look. Still, the new AI model is expected to be a giant leap from its predecessor, GPT-4,&nbsp;which was released over two years ago.To be sure, consumer and enterprise adoption&nbsp;of AI has surged massively in the last two years, partly&nbsp;due to the benchmarks set by GPT-4. More recently, AI development has shifted to focus on highly capable models that use less and less computing power.After the X post, Atlman followed up with another saying that OpenAI is hosting a livestream at 10 am PT on Thursday.&nbsp;He <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">said</a> the event “will be longer than usual, around an hour. We have a lot to show and hope you can find the time to watch!”&nbsp;He did not specify what it was about.Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/sama/status/1953296157586931745">reported</a> on Wednesday that early testers were impressed with GPT-5's ability to code and solve science and math problems, but they believe the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 is not as large as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-4.Even though OpenAI has brought to market new offerings, such as AI agents and lightweight as well as deep research-focused AI models, at a rapid pace recently, the GPT-5 release is crucial. Microsoft, Meta, X, and the Chinese AI industry, led by Alibaba, are investing heavily to compete with the ChatGPT-maker.Meta has ramped up its AI hiring spree, dangling multi-million dollar packages to lure top talent to its new Superintelligence team. Meanwhile, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — who has clashed with Altman over OpenAI’s nonprofit status claims — has been actively promoting xAI’s latest generative media push, spotlighting Grok’s new image and video creation capabilities.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-takes-aim-at-next-talk-show-star-says-sirius-xm-s-howard-stern-went-down-after-backing-hillary-clinton-in-2016/chrlsyNRd5C">Trump Takes Aim At Next Talk Show Star — Says SiriusXM’s Howard Stern ‘Went Down’ After Backing Hillary Clinton in 2016</a>

Sam Altman Teases OpenAI GPT-5 Release With Cryptic ‘Death Star’ Post As AI Battle Heats Up With Musk’s Grok, Other Rivals

The comparison between a much-anticipated and likely sophisticated AI and a massive weaponized spaceship from 'Star Wars' is, at best, a little odd.

Tesla is under fresh scrutiny after an investigation found the company and other Elon Musk–led ventures reportedly owe more than $100 million in unpaid bills to small contractors.&nbsp;The findings, based on a review of lawsuits and construction liens, reveal that dozens of businesses hired to work on Tesla’s Gigafactory in Texas and other Musk-owned properties say they were never paid, or faced months-long delays that forced them into financial crisis, according to a CNN&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/31/us/elon-musk-company-unpaid-liens-invs">report</a>.In Texas alone, Tesla has been the subject of over $110 million in lien filings over the past five years, with $24 million still reportedly unpaid. Contractors hired to install plumbing, paint buildings, and outfit facilities with robots and security systems say nonpayment from Tesla derailed their businesses.&nbsp;SpaceX and X have also&nbsp;reportedly faced similar accusations, including lawsuits related to fuel deliveries, jet travel, and construction services.Among the most prominent cases is&nbsp;that of&nbsp;Jennifer Meissner, owner of Professional Process Piping, whose firm&nbsp;undertook a multimillion-dollar project for Tesla's Gigafactory. After dedicating her entire workforce to the project and investing in equipment, Meissner says Tesla suddenly stopped paying.&nbsp;Unable to cover wages, she filed for bankruptcy and drained her savings. “They just don’t understand how many lives they completely trashed,”&nbsp;Tesla ultimately settled in bankruptcy court, agreeing to pay $650,000 to Meissner’s subcontractors. However, Meissner says she remains hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. In court, a Tesla attorney acknowledged that the company is often slow to pay, saying: “I don’t disagree that it does take Tesla some time to pay,” adding “that goes for legal bills, too … I know it full well.”Other businesses have faced similar hardship. Full Circle Technologies, a small supplier of security equipment, filed for bankruptcy after Tesla allegedly failed to pay nearly $600,000 in&nbsp;outstanding invoices. Fuel supplier Sun Coast Resources claimed Tesla refused to pay for $2.7 million in diesel deliveries. Both cases were eventually settled.In comparison, other large tech companies operating in Texas have faced far fewer such claims,&nbsp;according to CNN. Apple, for instance, had just $1.2 million in lien filings across comparable construction projects.Tesla, SpaceX, and X have not responded to CNN’s requests for comment.Industry experts said that lien filings are typically a last resort, and the volume filed against Musk’s companies may indicate a broader issue with how they manage contractor payments.&nbsp;“When there are that many [liens], that looks like standard business to me, and that’s shady,” Meissner said.Some contractors said they were reluctant to take legal action or speak publicly, citing Musk’s reputation and frequent use of non-disclosure agreements.&nbsp;One Austin-based entrepreneur said, “Tesla was probably one of the only companies we did business with where it just felt like they absolutely did not care about putting a company out of business.”On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">‘bullish’ for Tesla</a> and X, though message volume remained ‘low’ for Tesla and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XCORP">‘normal’ for X</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPACEX">Sentiment for SpaceX</a> was ‘bearish’ with ‘low’ message activity.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Tesla will poll shareholders on whether to invest in Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, the CEO said, following reports that SpaceX is prepared to commit $2 billion to the chatbot developer.Musk, responding to a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1944534221672104233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1944534221672104233%7Ctwgr%5E2efb55e392b9aa4fd936abba5ce1b1cf351dfeeb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloomberg.com%2Fnews%2Farticles%2F2025-07-14%2Fmusk-suggests-tesla-shareholders-will-vote-on-xai-investment">post on X</a>, said the decision is “not up to me,” noting that Tesla’s board and shareholders would have to approve any such move.&nbsp;“If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago,” he said.Last year, he informally polled users about a $5 billion investment in xAI, calling it a way to test the waters.Founded in early 2023 after the launch of&nbsp;OpenAI’s ChatGPT, xAI later merged with social platform X&nbsp;(owned by Musk) in a deal that valued it at $80 billion.The combined entity, XAI Holdings, is now seeking new funding at a valuation of up to $200 billion, Bloomberg&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/musk-suggests-tesla-shareholders-will-vote-on-xai-investment?srnd=homepage-asia">reported</a>,&nbsp;citing anonymous sources.&nbsp;However, Musk, on Friday,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1943795272515301624">said</a> that "rumors" of the AI company seeking that in its next fundraising round are "false." "xAI is not seeking funding right now," Musk said in a post on X. "We have plenty of capital."The development points to deeper integration across Musk’s companies. In April,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla</a> disclosed that xAI spent $198.3 million with the company last year, including $191 million on Megapack utility-scale energy storage batteries.&nbsp;Earlier this month, Musk said Tesla would integrate Grok into its vehicles, days after the chatbot drew criticism for antisemitic content posted on X.On July 12, Tesla began rolling out Grok, xAI’s in-car conversational assistant, to new vehicles by default, with eligible older models receiving the feature via over-the-air updates.&nbsp;Grok currently supports vehicles with AMD infotainment chips and software version 2025.26 or later, including the Model S, 3, X, Y, and Cybertruck.&nbsp;It requires either Wi-Fi or a Premium Connectivity subscription, according to a Teslarati&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-debuts-grok-ai-update-2025-26-what-you-need-to-know/">report</a>.The assistant can be launched via the App Launcher or by holding the voice command button, offering natural language responses across different personalities like “Storyteller” and “Unhinged.”&nbsp;However, Grok cannot yet issue commands to the vehicle, and standard voice controls remain separate.Tesla said the beta version of Grok doesn’t require a separate subscription, and interactions are processed securely by xAI without linking to user accounts unless the user signs in.&nbsp;The chatbot is now featured prominently on Tesla’s vehicle pages, signaling the company’s growing push into AI as EV sales slow.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.Tesla’s stock has declined 17.3% so far in 2025.See also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/senate-panel-pentagon-spending-30-billion-hike-f35-purchases/ch8cmZ7R5N4">Senate Panel Seeks $30 Billion Hike In Pentagon Budget For Shipbuilding, 10 More Lockheed Martin F-35 Jets</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
