Does Neumann survive? He controls the board, so there’s that. But it’s increasingly clear to WeWork board members & bankers that the company can’t go public with him running it. scoop here https://t.co/Fd5MFZZeA6

Can’t think of better optics than Adam embracing this with humility: “I built a great team and product, but I need help” https://t.co/Tls1joNL5d
Ummm, SoftBank was good with pumping in money with Neumann as CEO. It's obvious that Vision Fund 2 fundraising would (will?) be a disaster if SoftBank didn't push him out. But he's their creation. SoftBank needs wholesale leadership changes as badly as WeWork. https://t.co/jlcmbYxs5u
