In an interview for "Axios on HBO," Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said 2020 candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren's war on Big Tech would not be a major threat to the company.
Between the lines: Warren has previously backed Uber and Lyft drivers in their fight for living wages ahead of the companies' public rollouts.
The big picture: Warren is raking in enemies for her rhetoric condemning Big Tech and its largely unchecked influence. Most notably, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the legal battles from a Warren presidency would "suck."
- Warren has also run ads making false claims about Zuckerberg on Facebook to prove a point about the platform's fact-checking policy.
What they're saying:
"I don't think she'd be an existential threat to Uber. ... I think a lot of her points, which is there are people in power in the financial industry and in the technology industry as well who haven't been transparent enough, who have built platforms that are incredibly powerful, and haven't been responsible enough with those platforms of power, I think that comes from a real place."
