> Those tactics don't work unless the dirt exists

Dirt exists, this is obvious and well documented, and Uber does not even denies it. Now the tactics you are talking about are purely hypothetical. There is no need for a Machiavellian plan to exist for all downfalls and catastrophies (although sometime there is one.)

So what exactly is "corporate politics by insurgent means"?

Investors have functionally no say in how Uber is run (so they can't raise issues in the boardroom); competitors want Uber dead.

Two groups with incentive to get the composition of the boardroom changed.

A lot of people who don't believe that Uber's business strategies have a place in a civilized society - so that's a third group for you.
