The theoretical "go private" option under current circumstances is probably out. Tesla would have to rely on Regulation D[0] to privately place its securities in connection with going private. Being deemed a "Bad Actor" with respect to Tesla could eliminate that option as long as Musk is still a "Covered Person", which includes directors and executives, and, importantly, large owners of the issuer[1]. As SpaceX presumably relies on Regulation D to place its securities, this may have also already implicated SpaceX's ability to rely on Regulation D going forward.
