Seriously, I literally just posted the same comment basically. It's really silly how fixated on CEOs people are. I guess they are an easy scapegoat example, but they're just goons hired by the board of directors on behalf of the shareholders. It's not like they straight up own the company. (Yeah yeah yeah, there's stock compensation, and some founder CEOs like Zuck still own shares after IPO etc, i know.)
