I don't have a horse in this race, but I always get surprised when people critique responses from high-profile members of organizations.
Have you ever seen a businessperson make a public statement on behalf of a company that espoused or accepted negative/neutral sentiment?
I dunno why people even bother responding or reacting internally to these statements. There's not a human being behind them -- there's a corporate entity who has to answer to stakeholders with a spotlight being shined on them.
It's purely politics and statesmanship, the human being is long gone, or only shows up in private settings after everyone's had several drinks.
Except Elon Musk. That's a man you can, probably, take at his word.
