Why would he ever consider taking responsibility for something when he can't really be held accountable? It should be illegal to take a company public with special voting-only shares.

It is illegal on some stock exchanges. You are free to only buy your shares there. Also you are free to buy stocks on exchanges that do allow it but don't have two classes. No one is forcing anyone to buy Meta

Sorta. Meta is a component of the sp500. It’s pretty difficult to avoid buying that.

It’s also weighted by market cap which makes this a pain to manage.

Actually, you don't even need to go that far, because once you get sufficient coverage of the S&P you're incredibly well correlated.
