If you got 100 of your friends together to buy a car, and you each put in money towards the purchase and therefore owned a "share" of the car, then your friends can sell their shares whenever they want and if someone ends up with 51% of the shares, they control the car.....even if it was originally your idea to buy the car.

If you want to own a company that nobody can take away from you, then don't sell more than 49% of it.
