"This thing employs people who produce AMAZINGLY profitable and world famous stuff."

"It also has way too many people working on producing stuff, based on my analysis which began and ended with counting up how many people and what it costs to pay them."

"Time to kill the people. Then it'll only be the profitable stuff, and none of the cost of the people. I'm amazed no one has realized this yet."

Edit: Honestly, he's not exactly wrong. My fairly-uninformed impression is that the structure of Google is that a relatively small search-and-Youtube advertising department brings in an absolutely unending river of money which can be used to fund pretty much whatever the rest of the company feels like working on. I still feel that it's pretty unlikely that his assessment is based on a full understanding of how the company got to its present dominant position and how to properly steward the whole thing along in a stable fashion. I think he wants to wring it for any dislodgeable pennies like a swollen udder in the hands of a meth addict.
