It's interesting that he has apparently faced no consequences within the Silicon Valley community for creating a toxic corporate culture rife with sexual harassment and threatening behavior. (Just one example of many: https://time.com/5023287/uber-threatened-journalist-sarah-lacy/ https://time.com/5023287/uber-threatened-journalist-sarah-la...)
- meddlepal 7y agoIt is Silicon Valley... money talks, bullshit walks. See: Wall Street in 80's.
- cookie_monsta 7y agoCatchy phrase, but where is the bullshit here? (also interesting that the meanings are reversed in the other saying "you talk the talk but can you walk the walk?")
- Angostura 7y ago‘Money talks, ethics walks’ might be more appropriate

- alexnewman 7y agoNonsense. Investors are not uniform. He's got his buds and that's enough.
- jusben1369 7y agoHe's only raised $400 million and all of it is Saudi money because the Valley shunned him.
- wallawe 7y agoHe was ousted from the company, what do you mean no consequences?
