Elon continues to prove what an awful human being he is, devoid of empathy.

Why publicly shame the guys disability? What does that gain you?

Surely that’s grounds for an unlawful termination suit given that Elon made it about his disability

[dzhiurgis]

He publicly apologised few hours ago

[parrellel]

After half a day someone managed to explain to him he'd put himself on the hook for 100 million bucks, yes.

[synu]

Well, he said someone misled him and it wasn't actually his fault what he did. I don't know if that rises to apology exactly.

[dzhiurgis]

It's never going to be enough for you people isn't it?

[synu]

For me an apology (regardless of who makes it, this is not a special standard I hold just for Elon Musk) is taking responsibility both for the action and then taking steps to help address the consequences. Pointing to how it was someone else's fault is at best a deflection, it doesn't take any responsibility nor try to adress the harm.

[friendlyHornet]

It should not be enough to deflect blame after publicly mocking an employee.

Elon is not a child, he is responsible for his actions.

[dagmx]

“I’m sorry I acted badly” is very different than “I’m sorry someone else misled me”

One doesn’t take on any blame himself and doesn’t acknowledge his bad behaviour.

So yes , this is not enough because it’s just him eating crow while trying to save face. He hasn’t actually apologized for the actual issue.

[croes]

Because it's a repeating pattern from Musk. Maybe he should learn from past mistakes instead of publicly posting something based on hearsay

[rasz]

After learning about $100mil contract payable upon termination of Halli employment.

[dagmx]

He didn’t. He backtracked and used the word “apologize” but there was no apology or recognition of his actual bad behaviour.

Instead he deflected to some hypothetical other person that misled him.
