Jeff Immelt tweets that will not try to become Uber's next CEO

Uber apparently just lost its front-runner for the CEO job. Immelt tweeted on Sunday that he's withdrawing his name from the hunt.

I have decided not to pursue a leadership position at Uber. I have immense respect for the company & founders - Travis, Garrett and Ryan.
