Following a Twitter exchange where Elon Musk criticized Boeing's management and whistleblowers, a dark comment about dead whistleblowers resurfaced after a deadly Air India Dreamliner 787-8 crash in Ahmedabad. The crash, one of the deadliest in decades, killed 279 people, including passengers and those on the ground.
