>And I also don't see a lot of fervent denials from Uber in this regard.

Why would there be? If it's helping their stock price or even neutral to it then why deny it and risk it going down?

It seems like a narrow path to try to navigate. When a reporter prefaces a question with "Next year when you've perfected your transform-manure-into-gold machine..." it seems executives either quash that nonsense, run away screaming "I can't hear you!", or make themselves liable when the TMIG machine doesn't ever work.
