He makes a good point that a small number of gatekeepers for what is accessible online isn't good but are we really at the point of being openly racist and sexist? It's not like it would suddenly be okay if the names were Aliyah, Marcus, Cho, and Katie.

Maybe it was lost in translation of the quote, I believe those were references to the names of actual executives: Mark (Zuckerberg), Jeff (Bezos), Jack (Dorsey)

I give him points for cleverness but saying 'names like' is still not so subtly saying that it's because they're white men.
