I'm not a fan of Travis Kalanick, but the notion that anyone could run Uber better than him is hyperbolic. Regardless of how you may feel about Uber, they are currently valued higher than GM. I'm not going to comment on the bullish or bearish nature of Uber long term, but Travis is responsible for getting Uber to that valuation.



Is he? Or did they get that valuation despite him?
