> “His ‘joke’ is the least of our issues,” the CEO wrote. “His behavior and communications with us has been all over the place—saying one thing to us while saying something completely different externally; recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.”

I think that can also be true.

I mean he did leak a private conversation, for support to get a followup discussion at all. Then they used that action to disassociate further, but that doesn't make the actions invalid or unreasonable on its own.

We already know what they are going to do with the API, this isnt more damning than before
