The Board has a fiduciary obligation to the shareholders. That fiduciary obligation might force them to at least hire independent counsel to determine whether or not they need to terminate Elon for cause to ensure that they meet their fiduciary obligations and do not subject themeselves to personal liability. Between his tweets regarding taking Tesla private and today’s tweet, termination for cause could be viewed as a real possibility (or at least a forced leave of absence). This could provide the shorts even more arrows in their FUD quivers and put even more downward pressure on the stock. As someone who is long with a somewhat substantial position, I must admit I am really disappointed that Elon allowed his personal frustrations with the SEC to blind his obligations to his employees, his Board, and his shareholders.
