Unfortunately he seems to be trending in the opposite direction.

Leaked Letter Shows Tesla Is Facing Pressure From Group of Investors
A group of long-term investors in Tesla has expressed concerns over the company's governance, leadership, and human rights practices, urging the Board to take a

Maybe they do this all behind his back. His new best friend Tucker would be appalled.
Defenders will say well look Tesla just completed the 2 quarters where they sold more cars then ever before. Completely ignoring the fact that Tesla made massive price cuts during those 2 quarters. Dont get me wrong I expected some to make it so Model 3 and Model Y would be eligible for IRA tax credits. No way did I expect that Tesla would cut prices as much as they did and continued. Some will say it is just the economic environment. May have some truth, but it may also be that Tesla has to do this to get over people saying damnit I want an EV, but dont want to buy one from that arsehole Elon. Not to mention trimming the army of Tesla customers who were the best sales people for Tesla. Who now treat Elon as the Uncle everyone dreads to speak with at family gatherings.

What’s that going up in flames? Why, it’s Elon Musk’s reputation | Arwa Mahdawi
It wasn’t just dead celebs being mysteriously verified. The rollout of Twitter Blue was a spectacular mess. Once upon a time, having a blue tick by your name was a status symbol: a sign someone at Twitter HQ thought you were “notable” enough to verify. (Reader, I was not.) Then Musk came along, stripped people of their blue ticks, and said they’d only get the badge back if they paid up. Obviously only a complete loser would do that and the blue tick quickly became a scarlet letter. So when the checks mysteriously reappeared on the accounts of a number of high-profile – and very much alive – figures, including the author Stephen King and basketball star LeBron James, said figures swiftly announced that they hadn’t paid for the badge and wouldn’t be caught dead doing so. All of which would be incredibly embarrassing for Musk if he had any sense of shame. (Reader, he does not.)
While I can’t speak to the veracity of Zambian emerald mines, I can say that Elon hasn’t been having the best time of it lately. For years the billionaire convinced an embarrassing number of people that he was a visionary who was going to save the world. Increasingly, however, he is being revealed as an incompetent narcissist who is doing his best to set his brand on fire. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s the rapid unscheduled disassembly of Elon Musk’s reputation.

The dying embers of legacy media lashing out one last attempt, throwing whatever feces it can on Musk to see what sticks and what brings him down. It is almost now one article every hour coming out from the liberal media.
These keyboard warriors can wax eloquently desperately trying to show the world Musk is a conman and a fraud, but the man in the middle who is actually in the arena facing the challenges and working hard to change the world across multiple industries, is all that matters.
Have you noticed how there has been hardly any outrage or reaction outside of US? The rest of the world is more informed, who are not caught up on these silly Wokish ideologies and tantrums that seem to afflict one section of very loud mouthed Americans primarily.

How do you determine that? With a quick check in a specific non-US news source, I found multiple articles on the topic, the most recent from April 24th titled "Dead people get blue check marks, living people don't want them anymore" (my own translation), and plenty of detail on the topic.

He just makes stuff up out of thin air as usual.

The article was from the Guardian.
Parent organization: Guardian Media Group
Headquarters: United Kingdom
That's outside of the US in case you didn't know.
Ha ha.. Is that all you can bring up?
Guardian has a history of outlandish hit pieces on Elon and Tesla for very many years. Some of the Guardian's articles are even worse than Lora Kolodny's.

Yes, directly refuting your claim with facts. I need bring up nothing else.
In the titter world, facts do not matter as much as popularity and persistence.
When you can't find anything wrong with the message, you attack the messenger?
The devil in me hopes he turns on Tesla. New hires will plummet in numbers and quality, if that has not already happened, and existing employees will mutiny. The board will FINALLY have to do something. This will lead to his separation from the company. He will go into exile, whereupon he will realize with dismay and shame what he has done. He will then become a new man (like old school Elon) and eventually return to the company as chief visionary/CTO or even CEO.
Here, if I knew how to, I would insert a meme about poking Elon with a stick.

Just out this week: yet again, SpaceX and Tesla were the #1 and #2 most sought after places to work. Tesla got something like 3mil applications for 29,000 positions in 2022.
Regarding the board - an independent member is stepping down, and nominated to replace him is a very VERY close ally of Musk, JB Straubel. JB is pretty much a shoe-in considering he was previously on Tesla's management team and is extremely well-respected.
Guess you are not getting your devilish wish, on either front.
