  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.

  Honestly it’s pretty smart. There’s nothing you can say in the modern age that won’t be intentionally misrepresented, misquoted, or otherwise twisted. Plus there’s really no defending stupid decisions like this. Same reason Apple almost never comments on anything that isn’t marketing. They know they can’t justify their bullshit.
