If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't defamation require CCFR to prove 1. intent, and 2. damages - specifically monetary damages caused by a harm to reputation and this sales/commitments?

I HIGHLY doubt they can prove either of those from this tweet alone, or really anything he said specifically directed to the CCFR.

You're not mistaken.

Also an opinion can't be defamatory and that's all they tweet contains. There's no false statement of fact.
