Original Note:
Despite representations made here, this is not how tort law works. "Production of a hazard" & "failure of due diligence against that hazard" are not terms of art used in US law. Defamation against a public figure/entity such as Musk/Starlink has a very high bar. See e.g.; https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11291#:~:text=What%20Is%20Tort%20Law%3F,person's%20wrongful%20or%20injurious%20actions. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/diligence#:~:text=Diligence%20is%20the%20opposite%20of,care%20in%20common%20law%20systems. https://www.pbs.org/standards/media-law-101/defamation/
