Does it also send a poop emoji now?
Sounds like journalists can just make shit up and publish it. "Telsa declined to comment." so I guess it's true until corrected.
It's how journalists apply pressure to companies to respond. "We have statements x, y, and z from the public about you. Do you care to respond? We need to go to press with it in two hours." Companies can ignore it if they want, but the statements will go uncontested.
Let me fill in for them then: "We CoUlDn'T PoSsIbLy pReDiCt ThAt tHiS wAs GoInG tO hApPeN!"
That's the usual typical Corporate bad faith answer to whenever a serious consequence that everyone could see coming but they kept ignoring finally happens.
