The right thing to do is for Kalanick to loudly and publicly resign his position on Trump's "economic advisory group".
This group has zero influence on the administration. Its only purpose is to legitimize the administration and its policies of hate.
In exchange for collaboration and legitimization, Kalanick might buy some preferential treatment for Uber. There's nothing principled here.
If the Muslim ban stands and Kalanick doesn't resign, it will be obvious that he's a total hypocrite.
Far from "standing up for what's right", Kalanick has sold out to hate.
