 ' **Unsworth could win around $75,000 if the court finds Musk defamed him and caused him damages.** '

### REPLY:
This is a great example of why laypeople shouldn't try to interpret legal filings. 
  
 Unsworth plead 'more than $75,000' because that's the minimum amount in controversy required for a federal court to have diversity jurisdiction. 
  
 There is no specified damages request; that's all up to a jury determination.
