Claiming that we think it’s sad that the 9 share holder has as much say as a million share holder is stupid.

This has nothing to do with him having a say in how the company is run.

What has "say" in this case is the law. That's why they had a court case. That's how it works.

Arguing that wealth puts you above the rule of law is what's stupid.

And nobody said that. People are lamenting that having 9 shares gives you less say in anything

That is precisely what's being said. Re-read the thread from the beginning.

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.

This Hacker News post is about a court case that Tesla and Musk lost.
