We will see. It is not uncommon to see ex-employees of a company go on to create a competing company. Maybe the ex-employees will have a competitive advantage since Musk isn't an good leader of SpaceX according to them.

Well, at the very least they might join a competitor and take with them the knowledge they had at SpaceX.

If this worked, Boeing would have dangled millions in front of SpaceX employees and taken the lead.

SpaceX’s success is at least in part due to a culture of actually doing stuff. It’s difficult to create that culture, and the work to maintain it is done at the top.

Perhaps wokeness is incompatible with a culture of solving hard technical problems to the exclusion of all other concerns?
