The problem is that, while it’s easily disproven, the majority of people who read his statement will take it at face value, and because his platform is so large, it would take a lot of people disproving his claim to have even a fraction of the same reach.
People with appreciably large platforms or loud microphones can spread disinformation with no recourse, and there’s really no effective way to counter it. I don’t know what the solution to this is, but it’s a huge problem and has been for quite some time.
Those who can provably disprove it and have standing should sue. We’ve bankrupted Lindell, we can power a new American economy purely by suing delusional rich assholes… and it’ll actually get them to shut up unlike calmly explaining why they’re wrong.

Enforcing anti-trust law.
Not sure how that stops rich assholes from spouting lies on social media…
It wouldn’t stop them from posting, but it would stop them from having monopolistic control and the power to amplify those lies with impunity.
