Uber's Joby Blades Into Bird-Like Passenger Business Chaos
In a thrilling corporate ballet last month, Uber partner Joby swooped in to snatch Blade's passenger business—because why stick to cars when you can flight-hop the future? The deal happened so fast, it’s the business equivalent of crashing a party and stealing the pizza slice. While Blade presumably watched, blinking in aerial horror, Joby played the takeover game like a hawk spotting a pigeon mid-flight. This move comes just 30 days after Uber eyeballed Joby, suggesting that if you can’t outdrive, you might as well buy the company that flies above the traffic jams we all hate. Everyone’s still wondering if anyone actually gets somewhere faster or just ended up circling the airport.

Joby just bought Blade’s passenger biz a month after Uber partnered with them—because when you can’t find a shortcut on ground, just fly in, buy a seat, and pretend that’s progress.
When your Uber ride gets too slow, just remember Joby’s got you covered by grabbing Blade’s flying taxis—because nothing says efficiency like trading traffic for altitudes where you still might be stuck.
Joby’s takeover of Blade’s passenger service one month after Uber partnered with them: business version of musical chairs, except you’re paying extra and hoping not to get stuck holding the pothole.
