of Tesla stock.
He's the largest single shareholder still, but if other major institutional holders joined together they could force him out.

Elon has damaged his own brand simply by association with the guy known famously for having everything he touches, die.
Tesla has publicly, supposedly walked back plans to search for his replacement (because it was exacerbating the damage to the brand) but who knows what they are actually doing privately.
That's the just of it.
