The best thing for this is to just ignore it and let it die a failed startup. 

No one should care what a Peter Theil backed startup says about the truth. It probably thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

The [U.S.] government has many, many times disagreed with what violates that law about endangering active troops and such. There is a many thousands year history on why courts, judges, trials, etc. are needed
