I don't agree with that. I think Uber's culture was excellent. They were achieving greatness. They were making history. It was the fastest growing company in history. And you can't get there without being fierce. You can't get there without working extremely hard. You can't get there without having really intelligent people coming together to be part of one team. Where were you not fierce enough?

already working on launching UberX, but they beat us to it and they launched with Lyft with the pink mustaches and people's cars and they were illegal. They didn't have approval from the San Francisco Taxi Commission. So Travis basically for six months was like telling the Taxi Commission, the city,

like, hey, these guys are illegal, why are you allowing it, et cetera, instead of launching it as well, which was like the first and last time he ever made that mistake. And in that six months is when Lyft took off and they ultimately ended up with about 30% market share. They never expanded globally.

And we had Travis and Emil, they were close to acquiring it, acquiring Lyft, but they wanted too much ownership. So that luckily didn't work out. But Lyft was... I remember taking the first hundred lifts to grab and gather Intel for Travis and talking to the drivers and, you know, you sit in the front and you do the fist bump and all of that stuff.

I was involved in the beginnings of Uber China. There's a good story about me getting TPG and Bonnerman in there, and I can tell that story. It ultimately comes to... Can we unpack it just first with Emil? Yeah, yeah.
