- atom-morgan 10y agoI don't think he means the idea wouldn't have happened without him. It's his ability to disrupt an industry tightly coupled with government.
- Fricken 10y agoKalanick is a Napoleonesque figure, a great conqueror who doesn't know when to pull back on the reigns, because he knows nothing else. Our memories are short, we're skewering him for being exactly the kind of animal that not to long ago most everyone was rooting for.

- whyenot 10y agoSo essentially he's another Brian Chesky, or Anne Wojcicki who was willing to break the rules. This is not a characteristic unique to Kalanick and I don't see why something like Uber wouldn't have come along eventually without him.
