It’s been great seeing how decisive and incisive execution has been under @photomatt’s leadership as CEO of @automattic. Matt gets a lot of shit for all the wrong reasons. If open source contributors were rewarded with even 20% of the value that closed source gets, Automattic would be a $1-2 trillion dollar company today. I believe that we will actually see many open source companies valued in the trillions. All the open weights Chinese labs are heading in that direction … very clearly. There will be many. In the US we have @liquidai, @nvidia and a few who “want” to be the leading open weights American labs like @thinkymachines and of course @Meta …
After days of upheaval at Automattic, following a failed attempt to remove CEO Matt Mullenweg, the company has a new board. spr.ly/6011BGYvQP

Dumbest thing I’ve read on Twitter today. Matt has demolished the stock price and worth of the company. He’s made bad decision after bad decision. He’s so narcissistic he believes he’s the chosen one and can do no wrong. WP lost so much market share cuz of his poor leadership
