Sure, but that's enough money to retire comfortably at any age in a first world country. Did Musk do a lifetime's work worth of damage to the man? Did he make it impossible for the other man to work? Was the other man even fired? How many people actually believed Musk?

They other poster isn't pulling the numbers from somewhere to say Musk did a bad thing, they are analyzing his actual potential liability under existing law.

(so your questions are misdirected; they should be aimed at the people of California)

I understand that, which is why I ended my original comment with: Not saying you're wrong I'm just surprised.

Take a look at comments on r/elonmusk or r/teslamotors, etc. Many people believe it, insisting that Mr. Musk probably hired a team of investigators to fact check and verify all his claims.
