Replying to one user on X, who had shared a post regarding the speculative acquisition, Pilestedt said: «This is fake… Unless I've missed something». The director also commented that the artwork for this supposed deal was using «a really shitty old logo from 2008 or so».

The director also replied to another user suggesting an acquisition announcement could be on the way soon, stating: «This is the first I hear of this...»
