He has control over both WPEngines competition and the non-profit Foundation, and is using his Foundation position to try extort his for-profit company’s competition. Typical CEO behaviour.
Basically, he’s a CEO and therefore thinks every dollar on earth is his by right. I think the best summary is that he’s using his competing positions at the non-profit foundation to benefit his for-profit company.
