    Would you be okay if i rephrased my post as “against the law” instead of “a crime”?

      It would still be an inaccurate and unfair characterization of the USA, which is really what bothers me.

          It implies that this sort of law is unique or peculiar to the USA, and it implies that the law is a bad thing.

            Of course its a bad thing, musk isnt entitled to anyone else’s money.

            Like the shit with Targer where investors sued over lgbt support because people boycotted. Fuck this law.

              Imagine if you opened a restaurant, and I went around lying to everyone that you spit in the food. As a result, your restaurant loses business. Shouldn’t you have legal recourse to prevent me from spreading such lies about your business, and to recoup the losses you incurred?

              I don’t mean to suggest that Musk has a valid case under the law, only to point out that the law in question is actually quite reasonable and necessary.
