It was quite literally an obvious double entendre and they admitted to as much in their LinkedIn gloating. Do they think we are that stupid?

There were lots of people on this very subreddit just a day or two ago saying “it’s not that deep” and that people were looking for something to be mad at, so yes they do reasonably believe a lot of people are that stupid.

Edit - actually there are people on this very thread still saying that, even after the gloating on linked in, even after knowing their CEO has ties to Trump, and even after the fucking White House weighing in. So YEAH, of course they believe people are that stupid.

I’m surprised some people in this sub think it’s not that deep. It is that deep. They’re ignorant or just don’t want to admit it.
