Elon had 400 million shares vs this guy's 9 shares (worth $153 in 2018). Can't you see how ridiculous this is?
This shareholder should completely have had his view steamrolled from a “what he thinks the company should do” perspective. However, he is definitely entitled to file a lawsuit if he thinks there was governance fraud.
So what are we even talking about?
This has nothing to do with him having a say in how the company is run.
Arguing that wealth puts you above the rule of law is what's stupid.
That is precisely what's being said. Re-read the thread from the beginning.
> People are lamenting that having 9 shares gives you less say in anything
That's not what "lamenting" means.
“Might makes right” is how literally every shareholder vote and by proxy how every share ownership company is driven. Might doesn’t make right for actual law violation, but that’s not what the comment scopes it to.
You've lost track of the thread.
Maybe it's why there was a court case in the first place.
