Mullenweg is a cuckoo. He did not create Wordpress and yet has managed to closely associate the product with his own persona and ever since has spent most of his life wringing money out of Wordpress.
He is now annoyed that someone else has been better at extracting profit from something that - going by what he says - he sees as his personal fiefdom.
I really dislike WP Engine because they ruined Flywheel, one of the best companies I’ve ever dealt with (and to which I paid tens of thousands of dollars over my lifetime as a customer of Flywheel).
But Mullenweg is coming off as completely unhinged.
