在被强制带薪休假仅两天后，Matt Mullenweg 已恢复 Automattic 首席执行官的职务。这场短暂的权力斗争始于本周早些时候，当时 Mullenweg 声称首席财务官 Mark Davies 和董事会密谋罢免他，并任命 Davies 为临时首席执行官。然而到了周五，Mullenweg 通过 Slack 宣布他已重掌大权，并表示董事会已达成新的协议。在他回归后，Davies 的 Slack 账户被停用，据报道，Mullenweg 移除了公司 Slack 工作区的所有管理员。WordPress 执行董事 Mary Hubbard 在社交媒体上证实了 Mullenweg 的回归。此后，Mullenweg 对此次事件轻描淡写，称罢免他的企图对于一家拥有强势领导者的公司来说是常有的事，甚至在 X 上开玩笑说，这种“政变企图”每隔几年就会发生一次。拥有 WordPress.com、Tumblr 和 Beeper 的 Automattic 公司尚未就此次风波发表官方评论。

据《The Verge》报道，马特·穆伦韦格（Matt Mullenweg）在被传遭解职仅两天后，便重返 Automattic 担任首席执行官。这一消息在 Hacker News 上引发了热烈讨论，用户们纷纷探讨此次人事变动所带来的影响。评论者对公司的品牌形象表示担忧，一些人认为这种快速反转是内部不稳定的迹象。另一些人则借此讨论了更广泛的主题，包括公司治理与政治民主之间的对比。虽然部分用户强调了传统企业“封建制度”中缺乏民主结构的问题，但也有人指出，自由市场中已存在诸如工人合作社等替代模式。此外，观察人士猜测，Automattic 的不稳定可能与公司核心商业模式持续动荡有关，而人工智能行业的快速转型或许加剧了这一局面。

Two days after being placed on a paid leave of absence, Matt Mullenweg says he has been reinstated as CEO of Automattic, according to a Slack message seen by TechCrunch. WordPress Executive Director Mary Hubbard confirmed Mullenweg’s return to the CEO role in a Friday post on X, which the official WordPress account shared and Mullenweg reposted.

As 404 Media reported on Wednesday, Mullenweg had told staff in Slack that morning that CFO Mark Davies “conspired” with the board of directors, who voted to “put me on a paid leave of absence.” (Mullenweg said he voted against that.) He also told staff that the board had voted for Davies to become interim CEO. Davies, in a separate message, said that Mullenweg would still be a board member, according to 404 Media. An Automattic spokesperson told The Verge that Mullenweg was “currently on leave” from the company and confirmed Davies’ interim appointment.

In the message viewed by TechCrunch, however, Mullenweg wrote that the board is “back in agreement” and that he’s “in control of Automattic.” He added that “A lot happened in the past 48 hours that we need to sort out, and I hope much of it was a misunderstanding, because I have huge respect and regard for those involved.” TechCrunch reports that Davies’ Slack account has been deactivated and that Mullenweg had removed “all” admins from Automattic’s Slack.

404 Media also reported on Mullenweg’s posts about his apparent return, saying he made the posts “late Thursday evening.”

Automattic, which owns companies like Wordpress.com, Tumblr, and Beeper, didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment from The Verge. At 12:20PM ET on Friday, Mullenweg posted on X that “If you don’t have a coup attempt every few years, you’re not hiring strong enough leaders,” adding in a separate post that “I think this was my fifth.” Mullenweg also published a blog post on Friday titled “Major Life Announcement” about making an offer to buy a houseboat.

Updates, September 11th: Added 404 Media’s report and a post from WordPress’ executive director.
