Matt Mullenweg, founder and CEO of Automattic, was placed on a paid leave of absence by the company's board, with CFO Mark Davies appointed as interim CEO. Mullenweg opposed the decision, which was made without giving him time for legal review. The board expressed full confidence in Davies' leadership. Despite this change, Mullenweg remains head of the open-source WordPress project, which is separate from Automattic's commercial operations. The company has faced legal battles and internal tensions recently, including lawsuits and significant staff layoffs. The reasons behind the board's move remain unclear, but it adds uncertainty to Automattic's leadership and future direction.
