Board members, who have to vote. He cannot unilaterally control the company.
Institutional investors vote with the board as a matter of policy.
What that 65% actually is, is money from average Americans' retirement accounts that has been aggregated into index funds instead of individual stocks. That means those individual investors are disenfranchised from voting their shares.

"Pass through" voting for stocks held through mutual funds is yet another reform that we need but aren't getting because of oligarchy.
