Wow, way to prove my point. Bezos and Gates cannot create a single job in Amazon or Microsoft (Gates isn't even on MS's board anymore). Brin and Page can probably create whatever job they want, but most engineers don't report up to them and cannot be fired by them. So only 1/3 of the people you posted about (Hastings; Zuckerberg) even are in a position to fire someone working at the company, and probably don't know who those people are. Meanwhile, if all six of them dropped dead tomorrow, the only people whose job would be in peril would be their personal assistants, helicopter pilots, etc. Those are the jobs "created" by the founders you listed.
