Autonomy is coming and it can’t come soon enough. I swear @Uber and @DoorDash are getting worse by the day. Might be the lack of labor or the cuts.

Pre tax, pre option exercise… after tax and option exercise 2-20m… low end can’t even buy a house in ca …

imagine you’re Travis Kalanick you built Uber from nothing into a $70 billion company and changed how every city on earth moves then in the worst three weeks of your life, family tragedies hit, and five of your investors hand you a letter demanding you resign so you step down the board replaces you, your successor and board sell off the self driving division you created, the thing you believed was Uber’s entire future gone $4 billion to Aurora the mainstream media tries to write your obituary: toxic culture, bad leadership, and a cautionary tale silicon valley moves on as they always do but you don’t you don’t really forget you go quiet, completely quiet you take $150 million and buy a ghost kitchen company called CloudKitchens you raise over a billion dollars, hit a $15 billion valuation, build a company with thousands of employees and nobody even knows the name eight years in stealth, employees aren’t even allowed to put your company on their LinkedIn then today you rename the company Atoms, and it’s not a kitchen company anymore it’s a robotics company 1. food 2. mining 3. transport your first move? acquiring Pronto the autonomous vehicle startup built by Anthony Levandowski, the same engineer you originally swooped away from Google to build Uber’s self driving program oh and he went on to deploy 100+ autonomous trucks for one of the largest materials companies on earth now he’s coming back to work with you and the reports say Uber itself the same company that pushed you out, is now backing you to go after self driving harder than Waymo the guy they removed is the guy they end up needing poetic justice your framework aka everything in civilization is mined or grown, manufactured and moved you call it the golden age your manifesto ends with three words: “I never left” eight years of silence then this but here’s what people keep getting wrong about your situation everyone wants to call it a comeback or a revenge story it’s neither you just went quiet and built for eight years while everyone who wrote you off had stopped paying attention that’s not revenge, that’s just what true builder obsession looks like most founders would’ve stayed bitter most would’ve written a book and done a podcast tour, most would’ve taken the $2.5 billion in shares and disappeared off to a beach or Epstein’s island you didn’t do any of that you just kept building and now the same people who pushed you out need you again so whether you love him or hate him the most dangerous person in any room is the one who goes quiet yet never stops building karma is real welcome back Travis

Does anyone else feel @Uber and @lyft are getting worse? Both the tech and experience?

Glyphosate directive is national security. Keep PRC and its affiliates away from: - chemical production - seed genetics - proprietary farm data - farmland - ownership is companies that posses these assets many with PRC connections that invest here and own

The nba sucks … I just can’t watch it after the glorious NFL season

The “open to work” banner on LinkedIn has the opposite of the intended impact for the user…

Half of the Winter Olympics sports exist to get rich kids into college

hundreds of VCs removing “SaaS investor” from their bios

Perfectly stated by @scottmcnealy … as a parent if a kid who actually has autism, the whole elite families or kids getting more test time by saying they are disabled. It’s become a game.

To all my conspiracy theory friends; you were right

So I have the @CNBC app. It’s like $300 per year for pro. Last 3 times I clicked in this morning it’s “commercial break”. What’s the point?

Amazing go bears!!

Larry summers has to be the sleaziest person in history. It doesn’t take much to be president of Harvard

La cosa nostra and the nba? Do the heads of the 5 crime families meet via zoom these days?

I actually like this guy watch the whole interview it’s pure comedy @CNBC defending the hedge fund guys tax status I'm not dropping out of the race, says Republican NYC mayoral candidate ... youtu.be/_D6A6yr2mGc?si… via @YouTube

@therealgerlach @CNBC Yes and you can get the content after the fact for free on YouTube with no commercial breaks. There are so many commercials it’s like no time for any content

@ad42878 @CNBC Is it as big of a waste of money as I suspect it is?

So I purchased the @CNBC app. Literally every time I log in they are on commercial break.

Every time I hear “cam skattebo” I think of “Joey Joey Jo jr shabadoo” #simpsons

Well so much for baker mayfield for MVP
