Discussion: Uber CEO Steps Down From Trump Economic Advisory Council

Was this a genuine reflection on his part, or was the #DeleteUber boycott starting to affect the bottom line?

Inquiring minds want to know…

He had no option. His US client base was simply evaporating. I would say that millions will now stick with Lyft and Via, companies that really came through for their drivers and their urban customers.

Good point and I hadn’t considered that. Whatever one thinks of Uber and its policies, I would not be surprised to see many competent individuals resign from the cabinet or advisory posts. Folks who are not in desperate need of a job will quickly get tired of working with/for “the crazies.”

Guess he remembered what eventually happened to the Vichy collaborators.

Decent Travis. Now next time, THINK before you leap. You really did look like a jerk.

This event was probably part of the reason.

Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.


Then why did he say yes?

Good move. I applaud him for this decision and for specifically stating the Muslim ban/immigration policy was reason for his departure. Good for him.

Too late. Using Lyft. He needs to do more than resign from PP’s council.

The boycott certainly was a reminder that a huge chunk of his business comes from urban areas that lean liberal. I expect, too, that a lot of his drivers are immigrants.

If there was reflection involved, I think it took the business impact to knock some sense into him.
