He seems rather level-headed to me. I would rather a CEO address this lawsuit candidly personally.

Any lawyer would tell him it's a bad idea (as has happened in this thread!), but I'm glad you think it's a good idea.

I don't think it's a good idea, but it is preferable for me as a bystander trying to understand his position on and the details of the case.

Have you ever been party to or close to an important legal proceeding?
Anything said and documented prior to the hearing will be combed through. Even tiny inconsistencies will be cherry picked and entered as evidence to raise doubt of the claims made.
I'm all for the sentiment behind a CEO addressing ongoing lawsuits candidly, but in reality its just a bad idea. Statements made without being fully vetted by council, with the context of all other statements already made, will inevitably have issues that could throw a wrench in the case.

Oh I would much rather that because it is amusing. However if I used Wordpress I would definitely think differently.

Sonewhere I saw the great comment regarding Matt: "It's like someone wrote Elon Musk in PHP"...

Even Elon knows when to stop.

No, I don't think he does.
