This is the WordPress drama you're focusing on right now?
Yes. What, is there a Florida-sized hurricane putting out tornados as we speak?
Actually no, I was listening to the podcast to try to find facts and polish his Wikipedia article, partly to see what a specific paragraph sourced to the podcast with no timestamp meant.
Mullenweg just took over AFC so that everyone who installed the non-pro version will now have his version instead. It's part of this whole crazy drama in the WordPress ecosystem right now. It's just funny to see anyone saying anything else about Mullenweg/ WordPress at the moment.

I think I just misunderstood what you were referencing with the podcast. It just seemed like a general puff piece from before the drama based on the description and what I listened to of the clip.
The podcast sourced this:
Mullenweg has publicly challenged companies in the WordPress industry, including those in competition with his own company. He prefers to settle disputes in the court of public opinion and describes his approach as "brinksmanship", noting that the potential cost of legal action could put Automattic in a "tough spot".[24]
The first sentence was changed to the following in the interim before I summon the will to attend the podcast again. Haven't found what it meant originally yet.
On several occasions, Mullenweg has publicly challenged competitors to WordPress and WordPress.com.
