Travis Kalanick, Silicon Valley's bad。 boy。 CEO, once had a very uncomfortable confrontation with Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is a grown-up. 。
Back in 2015, Uber tried to disguise the fact that the company was secretly "identifying and tagging" iPhones, even if the ride-hailing app had been deleted. 。

But Apple was on to the deception, and when Mr. Kalanick arrived at the midafternoon meeting sporting his favorite pair of bright red sneakers and hot-pink socks, Mr. Cook was prepared.。
“So, I’ve heard you’ve been breaking some of our rules,” Mr. Cook said in his calm, Southern tone. Stop the trickery, Mr. Cook then demanded, or Uber’s app would be kicked out of Apple’s App Store. 。

Jay Z once wired money to Mr. Michael in an attempt to invest even more in Uber. Mr. Michael and Mr. Kalanick, giddy at rebuffing a celebrity, wired some of the money back, saying they already had too many interested investors. Representatives for Jay Z did not respond to requests for comment.。Mr. Kalanick also dreamed of luring celebrities into advisory roles at Uber. One aim was persuading Oprah Winfrey to join the board — something Uber executives believed could happen after Mr. Kalanick met Ms. Winfrey at a party on the Spanish island of Ibiza — but the idea never jelled. A spokeswoman for Ms. Winfrey declined to comment.。
That's a shame, because Oprah probably could have shaped the corporate culture for the better. (Uber has repeatedly been slammed for creating a hostile work environment for women.)。 Via Giphy 。While Kalanick has made a few questionable decisions as CEO, the 40-year-old has some pretty impressive accomplishments in his past, like once holding "the world’s second-highest score for the Nintendo Wii Tennis video game."。
