I suspect it is against the site rules to commentate on an in progress mental breakdown.
Mental health challenges can minifest rapidly and differently for different people, those that are struggling should seek help and support where necessary.
I think it's way too presumptive to say that Matt Mullenweg is having a mental breakdown. I want to wait for someone with more legal experience on this site to comment on the strength of WPE's lawsuit before buying into the idea that Matt is wholly irrational and ignoring advice of wiser legal counsel.
According to Matt his comments are being cleared by his lawyers.

If that is true - which it almost certainly isn't - his lawyers are laying the grounds for an appeal due to 'incompetent' representation. Which would be rejected on the grounds that it was so obviously their intention that it constitutes competent representation.
The lawsuit is irrelevant; the behaviour is the issue.
> WP Engine wants to control your WordPress experience, they need to run their own user login system, update servers, plugin directory, theme directory, pattern directory, block directory, translations, photo directory, job board, meetups, conferences, bug tracker, forums, Slack, Ping-o-matic, and showcase. Their servers can no longer access our servers for free.
Sounds a lot like Android and Google: you can have the source, but good luck without our services!
