Limited Liability Corporations aren't citizens. Satya Natella is welcome to take MS private as a sole proprietorship.

Microsoft is certainly a legal persona with many of the same rights and tools as a regular citizen would have and oftentimes more, unfortunately.

Corporations have the same rights as people; otherwise your freedom of speech and other rights could be abridged while you're conducting business as a corporation, which we don't want.

You don't conduct business as a corporation. The corporation conducts business.

The corporation conducts business through its agents. What point are you making?

This isn’t making sense to me. Why does a corporation need freedom of speech? Are you saying that if it were otherwise, I would lose my first amendment rights when I’m on the clock?

I assure you my rights would be in no way limited by rules preventing what the Microsoft Board of director's do with other people's money.
