He really needs to take a step back and let Teran do his what they hired him to do. He has stated multiple times that he is no a CEO. he has no actual training or education and it has been showing for years now. Every talking head episode he pushes out like this just seems to dig his legacy further into this hole.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this whole "plan" was concocted and deployed by the entire leadership team, with Reran giving the final approval. Linus is still the face of the company, so it's no surprise he is the one telling us about this plan.
