They minimized what they said because they want to avoid 1) making an even bigger mess than they've already made, 2) don't want to piss off anyone else (err, more), and 3) every additional word just adds one more percentage point in odds of getting sued by someone, for something.
I am very willing to wager that Walmart's legal and PR department heads spent some time on an emergency conference call (and more than a few got bounced right the fuck out of vacation to join it), so they could quickly slap that together for the PR flack to read or copypasta as required.
There may or may not be a longer mea culpa coming, but it'll be some hyper-vetted bullshit written in High Corporatese and won't mean a thing. They're just watching shit right now (including one lucky bastard who is monitoring us) to see if it'll die down on its own or not.
I bet they avoided that as well, or the ex-employee would turn around and scream 'unfair!' to his state labor board or someshit.
They likely pulled the little fucker aside and said something long the lines of this:
"...you're fired. If you make any noise about this, or try to capitalize on it in any way, we'll say it was 'for cause', and you'll get no unemployment benefits, and then we blackball you..."
...then they told him to GTFO and STFU. In return, they don't mention his name, or that someone got fired (in a way that would easily show up in a future employer's search.)
I’ve gotten my local news to crack and argue with me on Twitter from their official account. I’ll also say pretty much anything cause I’m out of Fucks to give.
Hilarious. This is some dumbass employee who forgot to logout.
It's funny. They apologize for someone being logged in, without actually caring about what was said. They just prove they are complicit.
Management Pede here, playing devil's advocate:

Maybe they could use all that corporate brainpower to support our president? Oh wait, the CCP doesn't want that and Walmart is their retail arm...
Or showing that said person is no longer an employee for either having unauthorized access, or being terrible at corporate PR.
