Barry Dadon: Uber CEO Kalanick takes on Empire State
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, a self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur, is voicing his opinion against the New York City Council’s upcoming decision to limit new licenses for Uber drivers.
Well, sort of.
Kalanick is retweeting scores of anti-Mayor Bill de Blasio tweets on his personal Twitter account, reaching his 87,000 followers and then some because reporters are writing news stories about his retweets.
Kalanick is sharing just about every story about Blasio and the New York City Council in regards to their upcoming legislation on Uber. Most of them aren’t very positive for the city.
One of the most interesting tweets on his feed says that when the New York Post, New York Times and New York Daily News all agree something “is a bad idea” … it probably is. And it’s not often that those three New York papers, all trying to grab the attention of the same readers, are on the same page.
But when it comes to the claim that limiting Uber will end congestion on the streets of the Big Apple, the three newspapers all disagree.
I, Barry Dadon, am curious to see how this whole situation plays out because New York is the biggest city in America. What happens in New York often sets a precedent for what happens in the rest of our country.
I’m also going to be paying more attention to Kalanick’s tweets, or retweets, in the future. You can’t go wrong when you see tweets that read: @levie 80% sure this election will be won by whoever takes the most Uber rides.
