QuoteUber?s CEO bowed to pressure and quit President Trump?s advisory team on Thursday, according to a memo he sent to his employees.
Travis Kalanick told Uber employees in a private memo that he quit, according to a memo obtained by The Post.
?Earlier today I spoke briefly with the President about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community,? Kalanick wrote to his employees. ?I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.?
Kalanick has come under extreme criticism in the past few days for working with the Trump administration. Angry customers started the #deleteUber movement partially based on Kalanick working with Trump and also because the company continued to send cars during a taxi strike that was taking place at JFK Airport ? where numerous refugees were being detained over the weekend ? by failing to turn off its app to prevent dropoffs and pickups there.
A group of Uber drivers started a petition earlier Thursday urging the CEO to step down.
