This sort of thing is common, especially with tech companies, but the point is fairly simple. The spox sent along the statement, and we never agreed to keep their name withheld ahead of time.

Come on, is this real? So the guy went from some kind of front for the oil & gas industry to a "long-time supporter of Tesla"? You couldn't make this shit up!!!

Serious question: why do you write that Elon is “purportedly” busy, but treat it as fact that Elon called Larry’s boss? I’m not doubting that this happened, but without knowing it’s a fact how can you assume its fact? Larry could be lying ... again.

Uncle Elon gets really angry when anyone at Tesla other than him is named, I think. I know the PR people get extremely upset if their real names are used.

What did the rest of the statement- the part that 'seemingly confirming some it' say? Geez- threaten the guy and then act like they are friends And of course Electrek and half the followers of Tesla claim Montana was a big oil operative. Lame.
