AFAIK, the Ellison’s own the majority of shares in Paramount, and so even a shareholder revolt couldn’t force them to fire Weiss. Even if the stock value plummets, not sure that would change things if Ellison, like Bezos and WaPo, cares more about power and influence than he does about profits from what is a minor segment of his wealth.
