"Just because I tweet something doesn’t mean people believe it," Musk said.
Just because he is untrustworthy doesn't mean that people *don't* believe it. If he didn't *want* people to believe it, why did he say it?
As head of the company, he has a duty to be more cautious and responsible with his public statements lest he gets sued. If he doesn't know or the situation is unsure/unsettled, don't make a public announcement that can mislead people.
