I wonder if the recent departure of Kyle Vogt from Cruise is related. Emmett Shear and Kyle Vogt founded Twitch together.

Wait why would you think this is would be related to Kyle?

Kyle's story was brewing from the moment GM appointed their attorney to manage Cruise - everyone knew there was gonna be restructuring of the executive team after the incident.

If anything, it was a convenient time for Kyle to step down as it wouldn't get a lot of prime time thanks to OpenAI drama.

If Emmett has any say at all in the matter, Kyle's almost definitely under consideration.

It would make a lot of sense. Kyle knows the space, is already wealthy and has always been pretty altruistic.

And the fact that Emmett is only interim should give you a hint something is up.

On the other hand, if Kyle was ousted for pushing too hard too fast at Cruise, that seems like out of the frying pan into the fire. See https://archive.is/Vqjpr

That they didn't complete the process of a permanent CEO over the weekend after firing and then negotiating with Altman?

It's probably because this is a very good time for tech companies to publish bad news, that GM chose to fire Vogt now.

And water is blue and so is the sky. Coincidence I think not! /s
