The CEO reports to the board, which reports to the shareholders. This is how it always is. His goal is basically pointless - even if the board did create a policy, or a charter or whatever, it could be revoked just as easily.
If you want to be calling the shots in a way that you can't be fired, you have to become the majority shareholder. Like he did with Twitter. But then your customers can still leave. I'm sure that's why he's trying for those hefty govt contracts that can't be terminated so easily.
