Running a highly innovative, scrappy company fighting for its life is not really his personality. Uber needs to do some unconventional thinking to transform itself." The company is already going full bore on its Uber Eats restaurant delivery business, which has seen business surge during the pandemic as consumers order takeout food — but not enough to compensate for the decline in rides. Uber is reportedly seeking to buy rival restaurant delivery business Grubhub in an all-stock deal that would give it more than 50% market share in the U.S., which Tusk said he thinks is a good direction. But some lawmakers are hostile to the potential deal, which could face antitrust regulatory scrutiny. Uber also led a $170 million investment round in scooter-rental company Lime this month. While consumers may be leery of taking rides with strangers, "scooters are poised to do well because they don't require any interaction with anybody ever, just wipe off the handlebars," Tusk said.
