In the worst case it could result in license suspension or something such but generally nothing happens unless they can prove intentional negligence; this one will perhaps be a bit higher profile given recent incidents and the ongoing Trump/Elon/FAA situation, and the fact that HD video of the incident has been looping on the front page of CNN all day.
In the case of an airline crew, they'd maybe go back for more time in the sim, re-training in a classroom or something such.
There are something like 20+ runway incursions every week across the country, the vast majority are obviously not this egregious.
