It's a half apology; Musk is shifting blame to someone else who told him "untrue things". He's not taking much personal responsibility for his failure to 1) act in good faith starting with assuming positive intent and 2) verify information himself before flying off the rails and going ape shit on someone with several orders of magnitude less power than himself.
It's about average for an apology from a ego-maniacal narcissist.
What a fragile ego with this one. I make varying degrees of mistakes everyday, it's an inherent part of the human experience. I appreciate the opportunities I receive to get feedback and take accountability so I can let people know that I truly do care about them, and also improve myself over time so I'm at least not making the same mistakes in an endless shitshow loop.
It doesn't have to be a big deal, though to be fair, I do have other sensitivities that are more challenging for me personally to address and make progress on.
Edit: @toomuchtodo, my HN good buddy, why'd you delete your reply? You nailed it.

Edit 2: But I like giving you the credit! Cheers
