Power struggles like this are weird to me. Is kicking the board likely to succeed at 49%? If so it feels like the control percentage isn't the primary factor in actual control.
- pixl97 1y agoYou only need to convince 2% of the other stakeholders to get your way.

- flyinglizard 1y agoAt 49% I'm certain they would become the largest shareholder, by far. Then allying with another smaller shareholder to get majority - especially as you are Meta and can repay in various ways - is trivial. This is control, in all forms but name.
- tyre 1y agoanother shareholder, one of the largest, is the now-former-CEO who now works at Meta. They have full control.
- delusional 1y agoThere's a lot of things shareholders can do to screw over other shareholders. Smaller shareholders are at least somewhat likely to follow along with the largest shareholder, just to avoid becoming their enemies and getting squeezed out.
