A few things:

There are many ways how his tenure can come to an end. I am expressing a hope that he figures it out while he is still in a position to change things with his power as CEO.

As for people who lose their job for doing the wrong thing, the media is currently awash in those stories.

Even he if loses his job, he’ll still be quite privileged given his wealth and status.
