Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on November 13, 2019, 11:25 PMUber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi had to quickly apologize this week after he called Saudi Arabia's murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi "a mistake" and compared it to the accident in which one of his company's self-driving cars killed a pedestrian last year in Arizona. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund is one of the largest shareholders in Ube. (Fortune)
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is being criticized for calling the murder of a Washington Post columnist "a mistake" and comparing it to the death of a pedestrian struck by one of the company's autonomous vehicles.
Khosrowshahi later said he regretted his comments, made during an interview with Axios on HBO. He tweeted Monday that there's no forgiving or forgetting what happened to the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and he was wrong to call it a mistake.
Critics say Khosrowshahi is downplaying Khashoggi's grisly murder to placate one of the company's biggest investors.
