uber has a dual share class structure which gives travis majority voting control, like zuck at fb. he could replace the whole board if he wanted to, right? so how are they gonna get rid of him unless he wants to go? buy him out?

he's going to go "on sabbatical" which means he can still be an officer of the company but not involved in the day to day

the larger question is once uber gets rid of all the toxic cokebro garbage they're still left with a business model with a -40% margin so what are they going to do about that

if all of a sudden they couldn't secure any more private capital how long could they continue with their current cash at today's margins?

he could fire his board and refuse to step down if he wanted, but that's the sort of thing that makes it impossible to ever get new investments without giving up control over the company anyway
