#SuperPumped
Gonna start calling this contingent the “superpumped” version of Trumpworld
As we reported in Character Limit, Emil Michael, the former embattled COO at Uber, was considered as CEO at Twitter/X before Linda Yaccarino. Now if confirmed, he’ll work for Trump.

My anniversary is July 13th. Didn’t have a chance to celebrate yet, BUT! Our oldest is out of town til Saturday & our youngest is spending Friday night at Grandma’s, SO! Guess who gets a legit date night with no kids at home??? Ahhhhh yeah! I’d marry Dara a million times if I could. #SuperPumped ❤️

I’d urge everyone interested in this to read the first chapter of @mikeisaac.bsky.social’s 2019 book, “Superpumped,” which takes place in Portland in December 2014, when Uber was first launched here.
WIRED Book Club: We're reading Super Pumped, by Mike Isaac
Based on hundreds of interviews, Super Pumped tells the story of Uber as both an individual company and a symbol of Silicon Valley's broader culture

1st: Read "The Smartest Guys in the Room" (Enron)
2nd: Read or Watch "Superpumped: The Battle for Uber"
3rd: Watch "We Crashed" (Apple TV, Story of WeWork)

Having completed these three assignments, watch the current hard-right wing trajectory & realize where they are headed.

Bonus Read: Icarus

Would be fun next to the toxic founder stories like WeCrashed, The Dropout, and SuperPumped.

Las prácticas torticeras y mafiosas de Uber están muy bien retratadas en Superpumped. Y cómo hicieron que se endeudaran hasta el cuello a los conductores bajo falsas promesas para después, una vez acababan con el taxi en una ciudad, imponer sus condiciones leoninas.

Crikey. 3 episodes into #SuperPumped and the megalomania is pretty stifling. It's weirdly captivating in its toxicity.Was there really a War Room at Uber? It's a psychotherapist's dream.

I still think about Superpumped:

Uber built a machine that let them manage god knows how many people's livelihoods AND NEVER LOOK THEM IN THE FACE, not even speak to them

they could just hide from them

After Showtime literally removed Superpumped while I was in the middle of streaming this year, I'm glad to see Netflix picked it up today. @mikeisaac.bsky.social

Pleased to say that @vulture has rewarded my obsession with Silicon Valley rogues by allowing me to recap the Uber series #SuperPumped, which so far is less Social Network than The Wolf of Wall Street:...

I thought last night's #SuperPumped was the strongest episode of the season, particularly as an illustration of how toxic corporate environments are fostered from the top down. My @vulture recap:...

i just finished reading Superpumped about Uber and was remembering the deleteuber campaign. these days no one cares if you use Uber. it's not nearly as toxic because their new CEO is low key as hell and no one knows what's going on in there.
