Isnt a contract something that you get in trouble for ripping up and not paying? Like that's the definition of a contract

If the penalty is less than the increased tarrifs then they're still saving money

Musk files lawsuit in...

Files a lawsuit based on what? The only thing he could possibly sue for would be if Ontario doesn't pay whatever penalty clauses are in that contract.

The guy sued companies because they didn't advertise on his website. I wouldn't put trying to sue because of this past him.

You can always sue, but in most normal countries it just gets tossed out.
