Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi backtracks after calling Khashoggi death a 'mistake'
The remarks came during a discussion about Uber’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, which is the ride-hailing car company's fifth-largest investor.

Khosrowshahi called Al-Rumayyan a 'very constructive' board member who provides valuable input.
In the interview that aired on Sunday, Khosrowshahi said "it doesn’t mean they can never be forgiven." But in a follow-up statement sent to Axios after the interview, the CEO backtracked and said: "I said something in the moment that I don’t believe." He called Khashoggi's murder 'reprehensible' and said it 'should not be forgotten.'
