He's was the CEO!!! He oversaw all the morally reprehensible things Uber did and did little to stop it.

If he is not responsible, then who is? I'm sorry but CEOs can't have it both ways. If you want to be paid at the (insane) current levels you have to take responsibility for the outcomes of your actions. The only other entity that might have some responsibility is the board for not getting rid of Kalanick sooner.

Are you implying that Hitler wasn't responsible for the Holocaust?

The person following the orders certainly shares some of the responsibility, but the person giving the orders bears even more of the responsibility.
