Reminds me somewhat of cases filed against the SPLC, eg:

Glen Allen v SPLC -- Breathing Space for Dissent, LLC

Craig Nelsen v SPLC -- Lawsuits/Craig Nelsen v SPLC

'I was given a life sentence without parole': Hero cave rescuer fights back tears in court as he tells how Elon Musk left him 'humiliated and ashamed' after branding him a 'pedo guy' on Twitter

Unsworth added that it 'hurts' to think of the possible affect Musk's 'pedo guy' remark has had on his English wife Vanessa - from whom he separated in 1993 - and his daughter Danielle, 24.

I don't know about you or anyone else, but I'm rooting for Unsworth.
