Respectfully, you sound like a fresh Alpha Male
who's found a new pride, topped the old Alpha,
and now you're looking to push him out entirely

I can see that it comes off that way. But the reality is, everyone seems to know this guy isn't hacking it, and I could tell almost immediately -- yet decided to do nothing for over half a year. For exactly that reason: I didn't want to risk the appearance of being an ego/power-maniac. But I'm now debating the wisdom of "just ignore it".
It's things that are borderline embarrassing (real example: not knowing what ssh is) in addition to just poor coding habits (breaking every style rule in the book), no systems instincts, and so on. Plainly, I don't think the CEO knew how to vet this guy.
