Exactly.  IMO, the board blew it.  This was their chance to get him out.  And I think he needs to go and let an adult run the show now.  As someone on here the other day - “go play with your rockets.”

I agree. It’s time for him to step out of the way and let a reasonable adult run the show now. One can heap a lot of praise on them/him for what they accomplished, including changes to the entire auto industry that they helped push.
