I doubt that. I think Tesla the business would be better off without him. That said, the stock is ludicrously overvalued, which must be largely due to his cult of personality. So if employees are concerned about their options being devalued in the short term, I could at least see the possibility. On the other side, I'm sure Tesla employees lean left, so I doubt most are fans of Elon. I'm not sure the financial motive alone would be enough to engender this sort of reaction.
