The whole thing seems like a stunt by Elon. I don't care either way, but it would have been interesting for the board to call Elon's bluff and watch him back out at the last minute.

Elon should really focus on his unfulfilled promises to folks he already took money from, not playing immature games to keep himself on the front page. I don't know what drugs he did with his ex-girlfriend, but they don't appear to have had a positive effect on his well being.
