If he really wanted to be rid of it he could have instead done nothing. Put someone in charge with the impossible task of "make this profitable in 5 years" and then shut it down after 5 years because "it's not profitable".

Showing his ass to the world and ruining future potential for investment by looking like an incompetent idiot is not a "secretly intelligent move".

Sure he's not hurting them, but he'll still keep riding the pony into the ground, because he owns it, he'll do what he wants. He's not making intelligent moves, because his choices aren't reasoned they are just whims.

Right, he's an idiot.
