Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg regains control days after board ousted him

Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, announced via Slack that he has regained control of the company just days after the board voted to place him on paid leave and appoint CFO Mark Davies as interim CEO. Mullenweg described the board's initial decision as a conspiracy and suggested misunderstandings need to be resolved. The company has not yet confirmed the board's reversal, and the situation remains fluid with Mullenweg removing Slack admins and making unusual posts. This leadership turmoil raises questions about the company's future direction and governance.
