NEW YORK (AP) — Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is facing criticism for calling the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi "a mistake" in an interview with Axios on HBO.
Khosrowshahi later said he regretted his comments. He tweeted Monday that there's no forgiving or forgetting what happened to Khashoggi and he was wrong to call it a mistake.
U.S. and United Nations officials suspect that Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman played a role in Khashoggi's slaying, but the Kingdom denies it. In his interview with Axios, Khosrowshahi said people make mistakes, and it doesn't mean they can never be forgiven.
Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund has invested heavily in Uber and its managing director sits on Uber's board.
Khosrowshahi was brought in as CEO to turn around a company plagued with self-inflicted wounds.

This is shocking news for me because I am an Uber user for a while and I like to travel through it many times. Because zipjobs is ready to help to solve your unique issue easily. And I think they provide us exceptional service.
