I kept using the word "employee", not "owner". And I think most people would agree that the largest shareholder who is CEO is not an employee in the standard use of the word. Since the OP responded in a different post that Zuckerberg, by virtual of control of the majority of Meta stock isn't an employee, he's clearly referring to power, not to equity. And I think it's true that Bezos (if he chose to reassert himself) or Musk can do whatever they want with their respective companies. I mean, even if he doesn't control more than 20% of the stock, who do you think is going to stand up to Musk? The institutional investors? A coalition of people who bought into Tesla because they worship him? The minority that is none of the above?
