I am not a lawyer but I assume for the legal action to do anything Elon would have to prove damages?

Later Wednesday, referencing his toddler son, Musk tweeted: “Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood."

It was not clear who the “stalker” was that Musk referenced in his tweet or whether that incident was related to the use of Musk’s location data.

Would attempted harm be viewed by a judge as damages? Any lawyers here? How would he prove the connection from tweeting location -> stalker -> attempted harm? Would the harm be the trauma of the event or perhaps the cost of added security guards?

That was proven to not be near an airport and not on a day that his jet was flying. There was no police report filed either. It's pure fiction.
