And mere insults are not usually legally actionable.

I would think being called a “thief” would be sufficient.
Now Jamaal has to show proof or lose.

But hasn’t President Trump been successful in similar lawsuits?

“not usually legally actionable”

Elon Musk is not the usual person to sue.

And in this case, it is warranted.

I suspect the money behind this terrorist acts against Musk’s companies, will be charged and LOSE.

Calling someone a thief isn't an insult, it's an ACCUSATION. Absent any proof, that's actionable.

Calling someone a NAZI is considered HATE SPEECH (If you remember, the LEFT invented hate speech) and that's civil suit time.

Jaamal Bowman is about to learn a very hard and likely very expensive lesson.

Given the terroristic vandalism and attacks on Tesla, Elon may be able to make a case that these sorts of things are incitement to violence and endangering public safety.

Proclaiming that E. Musk is a NAZI when that has zero shred of evidence and can be widely/easily refuted, is not just an insult. There are tons and tons of evidence that he is the opposite of a Nazi and not a shred of evidence that he is. The felons attacking his businesses and threatening his life are very, very dangerous to him and our entire nation. If that is not a cause of action... ?????????!!!!!!!!! REALLY?
