#3Musk also had that Twitter gaff about the "D." I don't know what to make of it but it sure is weird and not particularly confidence-inspiring.

Just an example of a certain privileged segment that many CEOs represent being out of touch with normal people.

#5Hello my fellow kids...
It gets even worse if "the D" also refers to having the backing of Dara himself. Then again, I don't have the D to state that definitively though.

#6Have these "younger employees" not heard of "context"? If you're in a business meeting, you can probably infer correctly, 100% of the time, that "have the D" isn't a reference to sex.
This story is pretty much the definition of "Much ado about nothing".

#7I am quite confident the intent is to get young women to ride more.
It is a very simple association with sexual contact.
This is the old principle, sex sells.
Uber has a terrible reputation, so playing the mook card costs it little.
Nothing more than MTV gross-out humor used to sell a service.

"nothing" is Elizabethan slang for vagina
"give her the D" is a meme
both of your paragraphs use euphemisms for genitalia
asserting the opposite doesn't make it so
you do not have veto power over the English language
The notion that you are going to quote the name of a Shakespeare play after saying "... isn't a reference to sex" WHEN THE NAME OF THE PLAY IS A REFERENCE TO FEMALE GENITALIA...

#9This is even worse in today's and Uber's context: having the "decision" must not, in any possible way, be confused/similar/assimilated with having the "dk"
He should have thought that more carefully..

Well, one would hope. Still, it's a phrase I'd never feel comfortable using, because the first reaction is a lizard-brain emotional response, even when my conscious thought process picks up the in-context meaning immediately afterward.
Honestly, it sounds like a cringeworthy Family Guy joke.
