    Idk, I’d prefer if CEOs were more transparent and why mistakes happened instead of the generic PR nonsense of: “We messed up, and we’re sorry. We’re taking time to review what happened to make sure it never happens again.” That kind of statement only matters if there’s some way for the public to know what happened and verify that it actually won’t happen again.

    That’s not what we’re getting from Elon, so screw him, but I just figured I’d point out that this particular broken clock could say something close to what we probably all want.

      Trouble is, their main job is to game public perception

      A transparent, honest CEO would win a lot of people over (although they’d also probably be less likely to ignore the horrible decisions that require apologies)

      Just remember - generic PR apologies are an attempt at mimickingv leaders actually taking responsibility for a mistake. The transparency will just become as soulless and corporate as the apologies are now

      We need to fix the system to remove the incentive to put heartless demons in positions of power
