The implication here is that working for google is success. Working for someone else is only success if you're afraid of failure.

Working on something challenging and rewarding is success.
Refusing to apply to a challenging/rewarding job because one's afraid of being rejected is failure.
Defending one's choice with appeals to "elitism" is justification.

It takes lots of different kinds of people to make a success. If the company you start can't hire people because everybody thinks like you do you too will fail.
The attitude that you can't be 'successful' in life unless you start a company is really out of touch with reality, I'd argue that it takes all kinds for everybody to even have a chance at achieving their definition of success, and people that do not achieve your definition of success are not automatically failures.
