Oh he can totally sue, that’s a veiled threat right there, and it’s slander. But he won’t. Adam Schoff could be thrown in Gitmo and the worst he would say is “I’m alarmed by these events”.
Though to be honest if I had my druthers I would march every single one of them out of Congress and the House and have the people choose new representatives. But alas lol.
It’s neither a threat nor slander. Public figures have different rules. You have to speak with intentional deceit or reckless disregard for truth. Elon would argue figurative speech. Also, the senator can’t quantify damage, an essential element to a claim. #dontsuevote
He can also argue that with how violent MAGAts are, this is meant to put a target on him. Suing him and tying him up in court, attacking his comfort and mental stability, all of that can be don’t to him .
Again, it’s easy to argue figurative language. If I were Musk’s attorney, I’d argue that no one believes Musk to be a trier of criminal fact, therefore he cannot explicitly state this as a fact. If we could sue everyone who talked shit about us, our courts wouldn’t function for overcrowding.
