Its disapotiing to keep being downvoted just because im wrong. would love to see all these people im sure they never been wrong in their life.

anyways Travis said himself he is leaving Uber because his mother just died, which was not a lie. And I believe when your mother dies you need time to grief and its perfectly fine to take time off.

You made a claim you didn't have the facts right on.

If someone without the relevant information reads it your comment could thus spread misinformation.

And so people downvote. The other replies that got downvoted after that I don't know about though.

People will downvote a comment that is objectively incorrect. I wouldn't take it personally.

Enacting a coup while the king is absent from the castle is a common tactic.

This is true, but the board allegedly pressured him into resigning the week after. Here's the NYT article with details - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/technology/uber-ceo-travi... - although, given the lawsuit, it's not clear if the reporting was completely correct.
