* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: When Anthony Levandowski handed in his resignation to Google to go work for Travis, he Googled "How to scrub a laptop", much to Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and David Drummond's bewilderment.
* SinisterSurveillance: When Portland lawmakers start arresting Uber drivers just because they could, Travis and the Uber team create the Grayball app, allowing them to ghost the lawmakers and keep tabs on them. Eventually, it expands to the users, politicians, Uber drivers who went to work for Lyft, and even Beyonce.
* ShutUpHannibal: Angie delivers one to Travis in the finale when he attempts to guilt her into talking to others within the board to preserve his position as Uber's CEO, calling him out for cheating and wanting to run away from his past failures.

Crosswicking new trope
Added DiffLines:
* TechnicianPerformerTeamUp: Garrett is the technician, being an actual software engineer who first came up with the idea for Uber, but taking a backseat to T.K. and serving as a rather distant board member. T.K. is the performer, being the public face of the company and, at least initially, its undisputed charismatic leader. When issues come up, Garrett tends to awkwardly defer to and support T.K. When meeting with Larry Page of Google, he highlights the divide when he calls out T.K.'s lack of understanding how the Uber app actually works. As T.K. breaks laws, crosses multiple lines of morality, and really ''becomes'' Uber, his support erodes, but he knows that between his and Garrett's voting shares, he can't be ousted as CEO. Garrett, tired of T.K.'s showmanship and not giving him the credit he's due, [[spoiler:[[EtTuBrute sides with the rest of board]] and ousts T.K.]]

* TheMillstone: Emil Michael, ironically, was brought on by Bill because his easygoing personality would be a good balance to Travis' hotheadedness. Instead, Emil develops a toxic friendship with Travis that not only brings out Travis' worst impulses, but also begins making stupid and selfish mistakes that cause Uber's mismanagement and abuse to be revealed to the public.
Added DiffLines:
* ToxicFriendInfluence: While Travis already had some serious flaws, meeting Emil Michael and Arianna Huffington causes those flaws to become too apparent to ignore. Emil, initially brought on to serve as a balance for Travis' personality, instead begins encouraging Travis' bad behavior, while Arianna provides convenient excuses and justifies Travis' behavior on the grounds that he is an innovative disruptor.

* NeverMyFault: Throughout the series, Travis Kalanick ''not once'' sincerely takes any responsibility nor admits guilt for any of his company's wrongdoings. His inability to own his mistakes allows Uber to create a toxic culture and ultimately is what alienates Kalanick from his board.
