What percentage of founders get replaced as CEO? It is very common for VC's to want what is often called, "adult supervision" once a company reaches a certain size. Even Google (home of the archetypal tech bro founder Sergey Brinn) ended up hiring Eric Schmidt once they got to a certain size.
I'm sure there is anti-asian sentiment (or at least discomfort) out there, but replacing a CEO once a company gets big enough to need it is absolutely routine.
Founders get pushed out by VCs all the time.

People who know who they are...are in the thousands whereas people like Bezos and Musk seek to be known by the whole world. If we know something about the promotional industry is that you only become famous if you want to.
