    I couldn’t be more grateful for @realDonaldTrump ‘s nomination to serve our nation as Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. It is a dream come true and I can’t wait to get started as part of @PeteHegseth ‘s leadership team. Our best days are yet to come!
    I am pleased to announced a slate of America First Patriots, who will work in conjunction with our GREAT Secretary of Defense Nominee, Pete Hegseth!   Stephen Feinberg will serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense, and help Make the Pentagon Great Again. An extremely successful

    I want to thank everyone who supported my candidacy for Secretary of Transportation. It was the honor of a lifetime to even be considered. I know that @SeanDuffyWI will do an incredible job for @realDonaldTrump and I stand by ready to assist and support in any and every way.

    Never would we have ever thought this nightmare possible. UberEats was 3x size of $DASH in 2018. Since then, $DASH has inverted this market share and is worth more than ALL OF UBER including Eats and Rides...globally. The Yahoo-ification of Uber is sad to watch.
    DoorDash is on pace for a new closing high today and its market cap just passed Uber. $DASH $UBER Data via @ycharts

    We set a goal for the company to hit $10 billion in GMV in 2015 and we would do an offsite with a special surprise. The employees blew away the goal and hence Beyoncé. Was worth it eight ways to Sunday.

    .I have been waiting to write this for almost 5 years! Never understood why it wasn't clear (see article) that @Uber actually *won* in China: 1. Invest $2b and its about to become $8b++ as $Didi goes public this week forbes.com/sites/helenwan…

    Waiting until the founder’s mother died and his dad was in the hospital to deliver an ultimatum that was “we will smear you” if you don’t resign within a few hours that was NOT brought to the BoD first, (4)

    Finally dug into @Instacart S1. Thoughts: first, credit where due: @apoorva_mehta built a *monster* company. By the time he stepped down as CEO, co was doing $25b GMV, ~$570m in advertising rev and cash flow+. No small feat. 1/3

    Common thread of dysfunction on boards of @Twitter, @Uber, @Snapchat, @Nextdoor, @Tinder, @Docker, @Epinions and @WeWork = Benchmark Capital

    Said it once and will say again; can't argue with facts. @dkhos has led @Uber to being In the S&P 500 and a $70+ stock price. BIG! The attitude that 'we are not done yet" is even better. A testament to the best part of what @Uber has always been: relentlessly ambitious!
    Great work/great year from team @Uber ... but we all know we can do better. Never ever be satisfied. Never ever stop ...

    Credit where credit is due to @dkhos and a truly outstanding 2023 and hopefully in the years ahead.
    The S&P 500 could get a new member tonight - $UBER among the contenders that could be included after the index's rebalancing after the bell. @dee_bosa on the ride hailing company's long journey to profitability and what inclusion would mean for the stock

    .@pmarca is the kind of investor and board member I wish we had from the earliest days @Uber. A builder at heart, in it for the long term, sees the signal through the noise, with you when times get hard. Entrepreneurs take note and choose carefully!
    IT'S TIME TO BUILD Legendary call to arms by @pmarca. This should stir the heart of every founder. We are in this situation because we didn't build enough, we couldn't build fast enough, we didn't value building enough. We get out of this by building. a16z.com/2020/04/18/its…

    Don’t think that’s right by the standard definition of disparagement: “ the publication of false and injurious statements that are derogatory of another's property, business, or product.” False being the operative word. 0% chance a Delaware Ct would agree
