One important people to keep in mind as they read this post, the linked Google Doc, and tweets from the past day where a bunch of people are receiving unsolicited DMs[1] from Automattic with grammar that matches Matt's:

- Matt, under various guises, is shifting blame to different entities that are effectively himself.

- Automattic is Matt. Matt is the CEO of Automattic.

- The WordPress Foundation is, effectively, Matt.

- The problem is Matt. Maybe he's right about WP Engine, but the way he has and continues to handle everything has been disastrous.

This is pure speculation, the WP saga makes me wonder if Mullenweg may be under the influence of Adderall or some other similar drug.

Whether he's "right" or "wrong", this is a list of Adderall side effects that seem to match Mullenweg's behavior:

* Increased Sociability: More outgoing and talkative.

* Risk-Taking Behavior: Engaging in impulsive or risky actions.

* Reduced Inhibition: Less self-consciousness, more expressive.

* Improved Confidence: Greater willingness to take on challenges.

* Euphoria: Feelings of happiness and pleasure.

* Potential for Overindulgence: Risky behaviors may increase.

I take Adderall, and those side effects are extreme imo. If it’s actually adderall, he’s taking way too much.

Thing is, Adderall is an amphetamine, and there’s a more likely culprit for those with lots of money: cocaine.
