Depends. for T$LA? It'd be catastrophic since it's a massively overvalued stock propped up by Musk hype. It would drop to slightly above average values and they'd be lucky if they were still in thr fortune 100. For Tesla as a company? It's be a huge wound but the reputation would improve in all metrics if Musk stepped down. Employee morale would go up, there's probably be less corner cutting with build quality, they may actually be able to adopt LiDAR and have a proper FSD one day, and they can start to rebuild their foreign relations So your answer depends on if you think a company is bound to its shareholders or to their customers and workers. Sadly there's a clear answer in America.
