Doesn't seem to add up with their other claim that they offered to pay for everything from the beginning.
Except if they offered it and EJ declined, then she could be paying herself and not be lying.
- TillE 15y agoThat'd be a bizarre scenario though, and you'd think at least one of the parties involved would've mentioned it publicly. Instead, we have Chesky saying they've offered nebulous "help", commenting personally on TC. Not mentioning a single step they've taken to actively provide help, no specific offer. What he says in no way conflicts with anything EJ wrote, and the only contradictory information we've had from Airbnb is coming secondhand via pg, posted only on HN. Which is pretty damn weird when you have this kind of situation blowing up on the internet. I like to think that Airbnb wants to do the right thing, but they've made an utterly disastrous mess of communication and PR.
