If I had to craft a satirical letter about a butthurt mega rich silicon valley executive complaining over the Trump victory, I could not have done a better job than the real letter the CTO from Uber, Thuan Pham, sent to his fellow employees. In what could only be described as a rift at Uber, in light of their CEO, Travis Kalanick, agreeing to join Trump's select group of business advisers, Mr. Pham has made it clear that he does not agree with his CEO, and he most certainly does not accept America's democratically elected leader, Donald J. Trump. Here is the email Pham sent out to his employees, which is now spreading across the internet like an infectious form of cancer.

Likewise, I could hardly sleep at night. I am still shocked and numbed from the absolutely illogical outcomes of this election. When the election outcome certifies the dumbing down of America, the racist, divisive and hateful attitudes, the politics of obstruction and destruction, our country has taken a huge step backward that might take decades to course correct (especially when it comes to the make up of the Supreme Court justices and the issues that will come before them). It is absolutely illogical and insane to believe that we can solve the hardest diplomatic, policy, and societal problems by putting in charge a person who doesn't know much about any such thing. How can we sleep peaceful at night for the next 4 years knowing that the biggest societal problems rests on his lack of intellectual curiosity, judgment and temperament? It is indeed terrifying! This is an emperor with no clothe [sic], and things will get very ugly before his reign is over. We can weep at this momentary loss, but we cannot allow ourselves to wallow in misery for long. We need to call up our inner resolve to get back up and keep fighting for a better world. The fight will be hard and long, but we just have to do it. In two years, all the people who were conned into voting for this person will see the harm he will have done and there will be an opening to move the Senate toward the blue side to check his power. And then we'll have to work hard to make sure the next president in 4 years will be a Democrat and wins in a landslide. Unless this ignoramus triggers a nuclear holocaust that wipes out civilization as we know it, the long arc of history will continue to bend toward more social justice and equality and a better lives [sic] for people around the world. We are already living in a far more tolerant and inclusive world today than 50 years ago, than 100 years ago, etc... And the quality of life and comfort for an average person today already far exceeds the Kings and Queens just a few centuries ago (we have telephone, electricity, modern medicines, car & plane transportation, etc.). But we all need to keep charging forward to create and fight for the future that we want, technologically and socially. Occasionally, the world takes a step backward with such things as world wars, Mao Tse-dong, Khmer Rouge, Darfur, W. Bush and his wars, etc., and now this. But I am optimistic that the world will correct itself, even if [sic] takes another catastrophe for American [sic] to usher in the next Obama as our president. In the mean time, for the next four years, I will not even utter the name of this deplorable person because I do not accept him as my leader. I will instead do everything I can to help defeat him and his destructive agenda over the next few years. Time to put on our Champion's Mindset and pick ourselves off the floor. There is much work that we can do to help make this world a better place, through what we do here at work and in our society. /Thuan

In case you're wondering, yes Thuan Pham did just compare the deaths of over 500,000 people in Darfur to the most heinous event of Donald Trump being democratically elected President of the United States. Or, even better, Pham, in his infinite wisdom, put Mao Tse-dong, a man responsible for the deaths of at least 45 million people during the Chinese civil war, on the same playing field as both George W. Bush and Donald Trump -- whose only crime, hitherto, was getting elected President of the United States with the promise to make America great again. You cannot make this stuff up. During the last UberExchange program, Pham offered this advice to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Money will come when you do something that impacts a lot of people. If you chase only money, you will be really unhappy. Building something that can impact and change people’s lives across the world will always keep you motivated. Don’t take yourself too seriously and you will not hesitate to take bold risks in life. Have fun along the way. Give back. Developing people will really make you satisfied at the end of it. Developing young ones in your teams who can lead and impact hundreds of lives – even after you’re gone – will leave you satisfied.

Great advice, especially #3.
