据多份报道，面对拥护“删除优步”标签的客户的强烈反对，ride hail巨人CEO特拉维斯·卡兰尼克（Travis Kalanick）今天在一份备忘录中告诉员工，他将离开由特朗普总统组建的经济咨询委员会。优步的一位发言人证实，卡兰尼克已经离开了总统的顾问团。

据《****》报道，卡兰尼克写道：“今天早些时候，我与总统就移民行政令及其对我们社区的问题进行了简短交谈。”我还告诉他，我将不能参加他的经济理事会。加入该集团并不意味着赞同主席或他的议程，但不幸的是，这被误解为恰恰是这样。”

卡兰尼克定于周五与特朗普会面，届时他表示，计划让外界知道他反对对7个***占多数国家的移民禁令。

但在面对一波批评后，卡兰尼克显然认为特朗普不值麻烦，批评的依据是对禁令的拙劣回应，以及有关优步在肯尼迪机场**期间破坏出租车工人**的指控。网络**似乎给该公司的主要竞争对手Lyft带来了提振，Lyft的iOS日下载率首次超过Uber。

此外，迪士尼首席执行官鲍勃·伊格尔（Bob Iger）不会出席周五的首次理事会会议，理由是日程安排有冲突。其他理事会成员包括SpaceX和特斯拉的埃隆•马斯克、通用汽车的玛丽•巴拉、摩根大通的杰米•戴蒙；贝莱德的劳伦斯·芬克和IBM的维吉尼亚·罗梅蒂。

辞职的决定得到了优步司机和***拥护者的赞扬。”***倡导者组织的执行主任法哈纳·赫拉在一份声明中说：“加入这个委员会是对偏执的认可多亏了数千名**并发出自己声音的活动人士，卡兰尼克和优步意识到了这一现实。”

独立司机协会（Independent Drivers Guild）的创始人小吉姆·科尼利亚罗（Jim Conigliaro，Jr.）为纽约市近5万名优步司机代言，他表示“优步在这个重要问题上听取了司机和社区的意见，这对美国梦的承诺至关重要，他对此感到振奋。”

这是卡兰尼克的完整备忘录：

Dear Team,

Earlier today I spoke briefly with the President about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community. 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.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this and mapping it to our values. There are a couple that are particularly relevant:

Inside Out - The implicit assumption that Uber (or I) was somehow endorsing the Administration’s agenda has created a perception-reality gap between who people think we are, and who we actually are.

Just Change - We must believe that the acti*** we take ultimately move the ball forward. There are many ways we will continue to advocate for just change on immigration but staying on the council was going to get in the way of that. The executive order is hurting many people in communities all across America. Families are being separated, people are stranded overseas and there’s a growing fear the U.S. is no longer a place that welcomes immigrants.

Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country’s success and quite honestly to Uber’s. I am incredibly proud to work directly with people like Thuan and Emil, both of whom were refugees who came here to build a better life for themselves. I know it has been a tough week for many of you and your families, as well as many thousands of drivers whose stories are heartfelt and heart-wrenching.

Please know, your questi*** and stories on Tuesday, along with what I heard from drivers, have kept me resilient and reminded me of one of our most essential cultural values, Be Yourself. We will fight for the rights of immigrants in our communities so that each of us can be who we are with optimi** and hope for the future.

更正：原来的文章错误地指出，迪士尼首席执行官鲍勃伊格已离开商业委员会。有人纠正说，由于冲突，他错过了定于周五举行的下一次安理会会议。
