wouldn't it kill those shareholders too?

Shouldn't this cause shareholders to sell shares in these companies?

That'd be bad for the shareholders, so, no.

Investors could destroy this company overnight if they sold stock; time to put money where their mouths are?

If the stock doesn't rebound that might just be it. It's what ~4b lost so far? I'm sure the main shareholders wont be too happy to find out they could have stopped this early on with little impact.

Not so great for the stock holders though...

THe great irony and greed of shareholders is, if this all blows up, they will demand more cash return in the form of dividends and stock buy backs. If that doesnt happen the stock price will get crushed as Meta already experienced back in 2022.

n% of a multibillion dollar company? The shareholders would be out for blood!

Let's hope the shareholders get scared anyway.

Shareholders would fume hearing this
