We will continue to disclose all currently req'd information on our opns, oppose proposals forcing greater disclosures of our strictly proprietary IP, and will simply no longer comment on independent analyses of our operations based on incomplete and unreliable data. 13/end.

Our customers and drivers are free to use our platform or not, and we remain continuously vigilant in setting prices and pay rates that clear the market for billions of trips. 12/n.

Generate videos in just a few seconds. Try Grok Imagine, free for a limited time.

Like other leading tech firms that have invested $ billions to create proprietary algos and operating policies, we have not and will not disclose the inner workings of our intellectual property 11/n.

As a public company, we are fully compliant with the financial reporting requirements in each of the countries and localities we serve. 10/n.

We are fully transparent in presenting the prices we charge our customers and the pay we offer to drivers and couriers on each and every one of our trips 9/n.

We abide by all local and national regulations in every one of the 15,000 cities we serve. Towards this end, we have NEVER adjusted consumer prices based on rider or driver race, gender, religion, or ethnicity. 8/n.

In other words, 15 billion times this year, customers will willingly accept the price we charge for our services, and drivers will willingly accept the pay rates we offer. 7/n.

We must be doing something right, because this year, we expect to successfully deliver over 15 billion trips, bringing people and goods to their desired destinations, 24x7, 365 days/year. 6/n.

We have invested heavily to develop sophisticated algorithms using advanced technology to set passenger prices and driver pay levels to adapt to continuously changing marketplace conditions. 5/n.

As customers and drivers are well aware, marketplace conditions vary considerably from hour-to-hour, and day-to-day, as traffic conditions, special events, and pure random variability change supply and demand conditions from trip-to trip 4/n.

Uber is a global technology platform company that has transformed mobility and delivery services worldwide, enhancing the lives of 180 million consumers, nearly 10 million drivers, and countless small businesses in thousands of cities across the globe. 3/n.

If I were Uber (or Lyft, or DD, etc.), here’s how I would respond to your clarion call for greater data disclosures and additional gig worker pay and working condition regulations. 2/n.

Let me play devil’s advocate to your proposed gig worker bill of rights, to stress-test your arguments, and to assess the realistic prospects for legal and political support for your proposals.@WridzATX @boston_drives @sergio @uber @lyft 1/n.

I'll follow this tweet with a detailed response to your proposal for a gig worker bill of rights. @WridzATX @boston_drives @sergio @uber @lyft.

With some notable exceptions, the business press and politicians don't really care about driver pay issues. Rideshare drivers are just not a big enough reader or voter audience. It’s less clear why @Uber’s algorithmic rider price practices haven’t gotten more attention. 3/3.

But when @Uber plays algorithmic bait & switch games with driver pay (e.g.surge shaving, bogus Advantage bonuses), no one but drivers seems to notice or mind. 2/3.

Retailers have been using Bait & Switch tactics for years. Consumers have come to accept the game, but seem to draw the line when secret algorithms choreograph the game, such as @Delta and @Wendys @sergioaved . 1/3.

I would urge folks of any political persuasion to read @sullydish's latest blog post on the Trump's MAGA presidency. Author Andrew Sullivan is a self-proclaimed and consistent conservative, the antithesis of the lunatic left. Read it and weep.

Here's the pop-up response that every driver wishes they could send to @lyft @boston_drives @sergioaved

Today's FT correctly distinguished dynamic pricing, practiced by companies for centuries, from algorithmic wage discrimination, with Uber as the world's biggest and most effective practitioner. @sarahoconnor_
