Apparently the board thinks so, and I agree. Ballmer is not in the same league as the top tier, like Musk, Bezos, etc. Ballmer is a shouting, sweaty, salesman. That might have worked in the 70s and 80s, but not anymore.
So you are saying the "board" is forcing him out? I disagree. Please cite a source for that.
