I always interpreted it along the lines of
“Apollo is losing you 20m per year. Buy me out for 10m. You save 10m the first year, and 20m the following years. I make a one-off 10m, which is 50% of what you value my app to be worth per year.”

So, spez takes part of that conversation massively out for context and said Christian threatened Reddit. Which isn’t in good faith
