Uber chief operating officer Travis Kalanick’snet worthis $ 6.3 billion , but if you ’re a turd , you ’re a shite , and all that grand cash ca n’t bribe you a better personality . There ’s a picture to prove it : Bloomberg obtained footage of Kalanick get into a het up argumentwith an Uber number one wood .
Uber is have an absolutely wretched twelvemonth , from high - profilesexual harassment allegationsto an astoundingly successfulboycott campaignagainst the society . rain buckets one out for Uber ’s beleaguered press team as you watch this video of Kalanick , whose life has been blessed with unimaginable riches , yell at a homo in demand :
The telecasting , memorialize by driver Fawzi Kamel , demonstrate Kalanick seat between two women . About four second in , his lady friends exit the cable car and Kamel strikes up conversation with Kalanick .
Right off the squash racquet , the conversation is tense . Kalanick tell Kamel that Uber had to frown price or they would be out of business :
Kalanick : “ No , no no . You misunderstand me . We take up high - end . We did n’t go low - ending because we wanted to . We survive low - end because we had to because we ’d be out of line . ”
Kamel : “ What ? Lyft ? It ’s a piece of music of cake right there . ”
Kalanick : “ It seems like a musical composition of bar because I ’ve beaten them . But if I did n’t do the thing I did , we would have been beaten , I promise . ”
Kamel tells Kalanick that he lost $ 97,000 and is “ bankrupt ” because of Uber ’s business strategy . His fiscal post is just unique among Uber drivers : Bloomberg reported last month that some Uberdrivershave repair to slumber in their car , and Uber hasrepeatedlycut fare to the full stop where some driver make less than $ 10 an hr .
finally , Kalanick exits the cable car , separate Kamel that “ Some people do n’t like to take responsibility for their own shit . They find fault everything in their life sentence on somebody else . Good hazard ! ”
Wow , what a turd !
Update 2025-03-09 9:09pm EST : Kalanick post the followingemailto Uber staff Tuesday evening , which was also posted on the Uber blog :
By now I ’m sure you ’ve date the picture where I treated an Uber number one wood disrespectfully . To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement . My job as your leader is to lead … and that starts with conduct in a way that makes us all majestic . That is not what I did , and it can not be excuse away .
It ’s clear this video is a reflection of me — and the literary criticism we ’ve received is a desolate admonisher that I must fundamentally change as a leader and turn up . This is the first time I ’ve been willing to admit that I call for leadership helper and I stand for to get it .
I want to deeply apologise to Fawzi , as well as the driver and rider residential area , and to the Uber squad .
— Travis
