I see where meme of car analogies being terrible comes from.
Who owns your car if 30 people buy it from you because you broke up the ownership right to it in 30 pieces?
And not "private", in particular if those 30 people actively trade said stock (i'll ignore the legal side of trading share of a car, because it's irrelevant in horrible car analogies). But ultimately, the point Giz was making is that those corporations are traded by public, owned by no one in particular (in fact, often biggest shareholders of those corporations are other corporations or some proxy organizations) , and often receive government funding. Calling them 'private' is really an abuse of notation.
These people don't own the car either. They (each) own part of the car, a different thing.
Don't know, but i know down here a solid part of first degree murder cases are property dispute, so i suspect these people wouldn't know either.
