I thought about this too. Genuine question: how does him totally exiting his Uber positions add credence to this theory?

After getting ousted from Apple, Jobs sold all of his Apple stock. After re-joining Apple, Jobs sold all of his Apple stock to play mind-tricks on the board (successfully, I might add).

How did he sell all of his stock twice? When did he re-purchase?

He didn't re-purchase. They bought NeXT and paid primarily in stock.

He expects things at Uber to get worse while he’s not there - if he comes back he can enter again at a lower price point.
