Here is the tweet. I apologize for showing it to you.
The timing of the tweet was weird because at 10:31 a.m. many people in the United States — and I have to assume a fair number of people across the world — had their eyes on Washington, and the transfer of power happening there. Most people at that moment in history were not thinking about Volkswagen or its electric car situation.
