This is a really good question...its unusual but I didn't process it as such because it read as a smart & effective split. Last CEO was from Detroit, co-CEOs are effectively technical lead and ops lead. Makes sense for what is a one of kind tech lab hitched to a ride hailing business. You also made me think deeper about the unusual situations where I've seen co-leads at a FAANG. Honestly? I think it helped. There's a very strong "bullshit" culture that can set in. It is a mere step beyond your average upper class Americans cultural mileu, so its underrated how degenerate it turns with that one more step: suddenly, leadership is never leading, and being extremely territorial about general subject matter while never doing anything ambituous enough to fail can leads to cylical ineffectiveness. With two leads, there's two people to appeal to, and two people who need to argue and agree eventually. They can't sidestep that conflict is a crucial part of polishing.
