How feasible would it be for a major publicly traded company to become employee owned?

Think Amazon or Apple. How would it be possible for them to become majority (or completely) ESOP? Or an “employee owned corporation?”

Assuming no expropriation, and using your examples unlikely. Taking Apple  as an example, it has 123,000 employees and a valuation of 1 trillion. Every single employee would have to stump up several million . The numbers are a little less extreme for Amazon, but still well outside plausibility.
