Elon Musk is woven into Tesla's brand. That strikes me as an opportunity that has become under leveraged.

I conjecture that technology-giant Musk firing political-opinionator Musk would be a winning brand management pivot for all his concerns, not just Tesla.

Investors might also appreciate the reduction in Musk's attention burn rate.

If he announced it like that, in all good humor, and followed through, I would expect significant share price bumps.

(I have belatedly become less of an advocate for Tesla, since Musk entered the arena for loud mouth battles over zero/negative-sum ideas. I also attribute part of my decision to pass on Cybertruck to that effect. Divisiveness does nothing for a high-visibility statement product for which "cool" and "I like Elon Musk" are inextricable selling points.)
