What would the board of Tesla do without Musk? Without his brilliant napkins sketch of a dumpster with wheels, where would they be now? I guess they wouldn't have a production line built for 250k vehicles, and only selling 25k a year.
Seriously though, without Musk lying and hyping everything, the stock would fall drastically. And they would personally lose billions. So it makes sense for them to keep him around. They know it. He knows it. Shareholders know it. The mind-blowing part is it's all mostly based on bull#### though, and most people are aware of it. Like does anyone actually think after a decade of "coming in two weeks" anything is still "coming in two weeks"? How dumb do you have to be to believe that? I guess the reality is it doesn't matter, as long as people buy your stock.
