      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.
