    "J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,"
    he said, adding that Donald Trump would be part of the investigation.
    "Trump tweeted, so whether or not he is named in our lawsuit, he will inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution."

    Most of the attacks came via social media, particularly on X/Twitter,
    and the controversy was escalated when high-profile figures stepped
    into the fray. In one message to her 14.2 million followers, Rowling
    posted a picture from Khelif's fight with Italian boxer Angela Carini,
    accusing the former of being a man who was "enjoying the distress of a
    woman he's just punched in the head." Musk, meanwhile, shared a post
    from swimmer Riley Gaines that claimed "men don't belong in women's
    sports." The X owner co-signed the message by writing: "Absolutely."
    Trump posted a message with a picture from the fight with Carina
    accompanied by the message: "I will keep men out of women's sports!"
