Hey— just checking:
Has *anyone* apologized for tweeting misinformation {see thread} about that crash that the NTSB investigated (where they verified that Elon’s tweet was correct and Autopilot was not at fault)?

Linette reported that “there was no one in the driver’s seat” and that “men died bc @elonmusk wants to charge people $10K for fancy cruise control”.
