So, at least the outline of something that is consistent begins to form:

- board is reduced in size

- Altman has a collision with Toner

- Toner proposes they get rid of Sam and offer the company to Anthropic thinking they won't refuse

- They pull the trigger on Altmans's ouster, Ilya goes along for /reasons/, D'Angelo goes along because it nicely dovetails with his own interests and #4 is still a mystery

- Mira gets named interim CEO

- Anthropic is approached, but, surprise refuses, possibly on account of the size of the shitstorm that was already developing

- Mira sees no way out without simply trying to backtrack to Thursday last week

- Gets fired for that because it is the last thing the cabal wants

- They approach Shear to be their new CEO

- Who has now apparently announced that if the board doesn't come clean he will resign

- <= you are here.

I think you missed the part where Sam apparently tried to get Toner off the board first, which would probably be sufficient justification for removing him as CEO (if the story is as described, i.e. it was on a silly pretext).
It's covered. Second line.
It's covered with a vague line that would also cover merely having a disagreement with.
Feel free to improve on it, it's open source, unlike OpenAI.
Did Mira also get fired?
Yes.
