so you are calling Elop a public figure? may I ask how is that public figure described? Yeah he is a CEO of a company and has been seen in tv videos when called upon a interview and has a profile posted online and you can have a two way conversation with him (hypothetically) by exchanging emails or other online interaction, he is talked among media. out of these four ground i can think of right now putiing it very simple every individual in this forum would be a public figure since it mathces 2 out of four of these criteria.
