Honestly yes. His investors have put money into the company as much because they believe in him as because they believe in the idea but at this point all the evidence is pointing to the idea being sustainable but Travis not being. They're hemorrhaging money fighting a losing war with regulators, Lyft, and the taxi monopoly but if they get self driving cars working (which is no guarantee) they are poised to be something incredible. Given all this it can easily be argued that Kalanick is doing more to harm Uber than to help it. If I'm an investor, or on the board, while I might not be ready to throw him out on his ear quite yet, it's absolutely a conversation I'm having.
