Which is why I strongly believe Elon will definitely NOT leave. Think of it from his POV:
- Leaving will mean he isn't CEO when Cybertruck sales really take off, and allow him to demonstrate he was right, over all the people who hated the CT and predicted it to be a failure
- Leaving will mean he does voluntarily what he was forced to do at paypal, which drove him crazy literally for decades. Makes no sense!
- Leaving before FSD is an acknowledged reality. Again, he wants to be there when people are forced to acknowledge he was (eventually) right about FSD.
If the vote is against him, I expect some (rightly) very angry tweets, and some very very long term grudges held against banks or hedge funds that turned against him. I also think its then an absolute dead-cert that no part of any elon business ever floats on the markets again.
But leave the company? I think this is massively unlikely. However, there may be a short term SP drop, mostly manipulated, and fuelled by BS in the media or from people who do not know elon's temperament or his history regarding paypal.
