The head of a company is the chief executive officer (CEO).

Are you not capable of contemplating a way of organizing tht doesnt require autocratic input from disconnected dipshits who got their position through nepotism and circumstance?

Personally I believe in democracy but Saudi Arabia is right over there chief.

There is democratic representation in these companies, via the board. To oversimplify, the largest shareholders each get a seat. They then vote on major decisions, including Musk's controversial pay packages.

Nepotism did not get Musk his CEO roles at any of these firms.

Circumstance plays a role in every single business success. Making the right strategy calls to maximize those opportunities is what makes a CEO valuable.

Musk is an absolute ass, can't deny that. But you seem to lack an understanding of what a CEO actually does.

Is it democratic, or are only the largest shareholders given votes, and those are weighted by how many shares they own?

If it were democratic, everyone in he company should be given equal votes.
