They were apparently unhappy with him because he's too good at business, so I think his reputation is intact.

Or he is not doing what the board wants, which is damaging.

If I am good at hacking computers, it does not mean that I should hack all of them and get to the jail.

The board (Ilya) wanted to be a research nonprofit, which is fair, but they accidentally grew a giant business out of it via Microsoft investment and Sam was doing a pretty solid job of continuing that.

This is fair that it's a distraction from the mission, but randomly firing him and now having all their staff leave and probably losing all the compute funding is a strange way of dealing with it.
