I'm not sure what your point even is. Large shareholders have large shareholdings. They have a lot of skin in the game. They're going to vote according to what they think is best _for themselves_, not for Musk. You don't fool around when you have billions of dollars at stake. Small shareholders who only own a couple of shares can afford to vote for fun because, at the end of the day, the outcome won't affect them much. And for fun they did vote, 90% in favor.
