In that way, it may be an attempt for a desperate employee to prevent it from happening. Create a rumor, send link to HN, share on Twitter, etc. Everyone starts talking about it, and it reaches the executives at Meta. They try extra hard to not validate it, and perhaps switch strategies if already planned on it.
