    Just read the article.

    Your claim is that they disabled it. They didn’t. It was never enabled in the first place.

      I shared it. Of course I read it. It’s also the statement from their public relations department after the fact to try and quell the public backlash.

        After the fact? After what? After the thing you’re claiming didn’t happen?

        Do you see what you’re doing here? You’re using an article whose sole purpose is to debunk the claim you’re trying to make. You’re emotionally invested in this - you don’t like Elon, so you want this to be true. When someone points out that it’s not true, with evidence, you start making things up to avoid acknowledging you were wrong. This is cognitive dissonance. The reason you have this false belief to begin with is because Walter Isaacson wrote about it in his book. Now the exact same person has admitted that this didn’t happen yet you still keep harping on about it. You’re literally spreading misonformation.

          The article doesn’t debunk anything. All it really says is it can’t definitively say either way. You just choose to focus on the PR response because it supports what you want.
