Tesla is a public company. The board could fire him if they wanted and might if he further escalates his trolling.

  That's might be very difficult. Musk may not own a majority but the corporate bylaws require a supermajority of shareholders to support any major changes, though I'm not sure if firing the CEO is covered by that. If it does, it would require roughly 75-80% of non-Musk shares to vote him out.

    His cult of personality is one of the reasons for Tesla's valuation. Remove him, and you have a crash.

      Strange that this did not happen when a) Steve Jobs first left Apple; and b) after Tim Cook succeeded him. CEOs loose their mojo. When Elon fails to follow-through with taking Tesla private, and (seemingly) acquiring Twitter -- its a sign that he isn't thoroughly thinking through the weightiest of decisions.

        When Jobs was ousted Apple was floundering an his departure was more drama than impactful. When he stepped down at the end he had a well running machine that could generally point in the right direction.
