Especially where Linux (the kernel) is concerned, I cannot see a single company being able to buy any of Linus' decisions.
Not because Linus is beyond accepting money for a favour, but because all companies know that forks would spring up like mushrooms the day it happened.
None of the companies wants to further develop Linux on their own. Even Google rebases their internal Linux fork onto a mainline kernel from time to time.
