your votes don't make any impact or just to look good on paper work (that they actually let retail investor vote).

There is, to my knowledge, not a single public company out there where retail investor votes outweigh the sum total of corporate/rich people investment. There are some rare outliers where retail investors hold as much or more weight than any individual company invested but as soon as you even just add 2nd place on the corporate investment ladder that sliver of relevance fades away again.

Not to mention getting a few million retail investors to pull in the same direction is a lot harder than getting 6 corporations to agree on the same matter.

if they didn't matter the big money running the campaign against the incumbent board wouldn't have been soliciting votes.

also the biggest vote you have is taking your ball and going home.

I did that after the Cybertruck was shown the first time.
