> Mullenweg’s feud with WP Engine fans out in a few different directions. He’s criticized WP Engine for not putting enough time and money into developing the open-source WordPress ecosystem, saying that if you gave $1 to the WordPress Foundation, “you’d be a bigger donor than WP Engine.”
Wordpress Foundation is a shell org with no employees controlled entirely by Matt Mullenweg.

The Wordpress Foundation has a subsidiary corporation called "WordPress Community Support" of which 88% of their income comes from event sponsorships. Of which WP Engine has been a top sponsor! They were a top sponsor at the event that Mullenweg (allegedly) extorted them at! https://us.wordcamp.org/2024/sponsors/ https://us.wordcamp.org/2024/sponsors/
So either Matt Mullenweg is confused about which fake charity shell corporation WP Engine was supposed to be paying into, or he is outright lying.
