In the same way a country needs a leader to make deals in foreign policy and serve the interest of the people, so does a business.

You didn't finish the analogy. For what purpose does a company need a singular leader?

Also, most companies are owned by large scale investors. What the fuck do those investors actually do for the company? Do they lead it? Do they go in ever day and sign paperwork and go to meetings about company direction? Fucking no. The only thing they do is fire CEOs if stock prices go down and then hire new ones that come in and do layoffs for short term stock boosts. lol.
Not to mention the entire purpose of a leader in a country should be to work FOR the people that elect them. The capitalist only wants the business to succeed for their own benefit, and will cut any and every job they can to increase their own pay.
Anyone that treats a capitalist and a company like a president and a country has such an infantile understanding of reality that their input into any conversation can just safety being ignored.

The meme says nothing against the workers electing a representative. It talks about ownership of the means of production. To use your analogy, the president doesn't own the means of production of a country.

Even if this were absolutely true in every case, should that person not be a democratically elected leader? Rather than just the person who has the most money?

a business's primary concern is serving the interest of the business owner(s), all other concerns are secondary
this applies to all businesses under capitalism, from sole proprietors through workers' co-ops all the way to international mega-corps
