Sometimes doing your best isn’t good enough. Sometimes you have to do what is required.

Travis Kalanick: “I was running a $70 billion company the way somebody who thought he was going to starve next week would run it."

"Every decision I made at Uber, I defend to this day. Never had chalk on my shoe.“

“The problem was I ran too close to the line in too many situations. When you're big and important, the scrutiny and expectation is that you don't run that close to the line, even if it's correct. That is a thing I definitely did not understand.”

“It comes from what I did before Uber. First four years, no salary, ran out of money several times, super grind, lose all friends. The non-luckiest entrepreneur journey of all time.”

“It was so hard that I had to be epically precise and hardcore just to pay the bills and go to the grocery store next week. And that precision and intensity made Uber what it was.”

“The lifestyle of an entrepreneur is I can take more pain than the other guy and I’ll prove it.” — @travisk

I just went into target and I wasn’t sure if I was gonna get mauled by a cougar inside or ran over by one outside in the parking lot.

Travis is an apex predator put on ice in 2017 and only recently reactivated from cryogenic slumber.

Standards for male behavior have moved so far that he's actively perplexed by it.

Our current ecology was last home to performative frat bros nearly a decade ago.

So when Travis tells TBPN he jet skis to work, and Jordi + John ask whether he does his best thinking on the jet ski, he pauses.

You can visibly see him get confused, with an expression like "What the fuck are you guys talking about?"

Then he quite literally voices his frustration: "No guys...it's a fucking notch on the belt. Who else do you know who jet skis to work? Nobody. I'm the guy."

Even the literal technology brothers are incapable of fathoming a man who does things just for the bit.

Travis in 2026 is like the T-rex from Jurassic Park 2 who finds himself in modern day San Diego being like, yo, what the FUCK is this place?

And then just stomps everything in sight.
