## Article

Mullenweg purged Slack and offered the Mirene houseboat after reclaiming Automattic. The founder got shoved on leave Wednesday, and by Thursday night he treated Slack like the only room that still answered to him. He blasted Slack over Mark Davies conspiring. Then he deactivated the CFO and stripped the Slack admins in a late-night reclaim that felt like a group chat with a king. Friday he posted a fifth coup claim. Then the Major Life Announcement showed up, offering Stewart Brand's houseboat as if the fight was supposed to end on a boat. Boards that dump a founder midweek look messy as hell. This founder-control act looks even worse, because he seized Automattic and then pointed the whole fight at a houseboat. I will still back an owner who built the shop. I will not clap for a Slack funeral followed by a marina listing. The Mirene sits at Waldo Point on the SF Bay.
