Elon(and others) got it right by making perfidity a feature of there character right up front by bieng VERY public about whatever they get up to. Jensen just so happens to be a convienient scapegoat to buy a news cycle away from the very difficult political and economic situation that would otherwise be the lead story, and I bet that having him fold his hand quite so easily is actualy not what they were hoping for, and good on him for doing it.
