Matt Mullenweg has posted a message to Automattic’s Slack, claiming he is back in control as CEO of the WordPress.com parent company, according to a screenshot of the message seen by TechCrunch, which was confirmed by two sources. The post arrives only days after Automattic’s board voted to oust Mullenweg as CEO for unknown reasons.
Automattic has been asked to confirm if Mullenweg’s statement is true, but has not yet responded to a request for comment. Mullenweg responded to our inquiry, saying a blog post is forthcoming. This story is still developing.
