A new piece out Thursday from Bloomberg details Kalanick's final few months as Uber CEO and what he's been up to after being pushed out of the company - and that includes a new addiction to the popular smartphone game.
Kalanick's last few months at Uber were contentious, Bloomberg reports, and before his tenure was over, tragedy struck: Kalanick's mother was killed in a boating accident, and his father was seriously injured.
According to Bloomberg, Kalanick is using his newfound downtime to set up a family office, spend time with his father - and play plenty of "2048."
Kalanick even confirmed he loves the game on his Instagram back in September:
But "2048" isn't a new game - or a particularly original one at that. It's easy to learn, and even easier to get hooked on. So here's how to play "2048," the game that's taking up a lot of Kalanick's free time:
