Files a lawsuit based on what?

Based on the principles of SLAPP

Its a threat intended to intimidate the other party into backing down.

SLAPP lawsuits aren't particularly effective against governments. There's nothing much to fear when you can just change the laws if things don't go your way. And even Musk isn't going to out spend the province of Ontario.

Of course, but that doesn't stop Musk from trying to use his typical sabre rattling methods.
