It read to me as a bit of both. He had reservations (who wouldn't) but he'd also already had the taste for working for himself.

So he's simultaneously got a reminder that his own work is important to him, a bit of breathing room from his chunk of the buyout and an opportunity to start off with a bit of a "bang" PR-wise.

What entrepreneur would pass up on that?

I think he's pretty clever for using the very tiny window of opportunity to gather some publicity for himself. Remember, the guy just lost his job.
