- crubier 5y agoAlways a good idea to leave at the top. Congrats to him.
- TomJansen 5y agoSo the MGM deal was the last one he wanted make
- mark_l_watson 5y agoHe has already turned over a lot of responsibility. I totally understand why he wants more freedom of his time. Why keep working and die in harness (like an old work horse).

- stuaxo 5y agoIs it cynical to think there is probably some tax angle to this ?
- meepmorp 5y agoStepping down in general, or the timing?
- 38932ur98u 5y agoNo, not cynical at all. This is one of the most legally unethical people on the planet.
- stu2b50 5y agoOccams razor is that it's what you see. It's not like he's out of the company, he's still chair of the board, but it makes sense that he does less of the day-to-day minutia and more broad strokes. He doesn't need to do that anymore, and it's probably best for the company that he doesn't. Besides, he has his space company hobby.
