Honestly, SpaceX has been delivering results steadily and with seemingly no change in rate or quality since he was distracted by Twitter. The recent news [1] that he isn't doing the lead engineering at Starbase means this likely won't be felt there either.
I suppose it really boils down to whether the organization was succeeding _because_ of him or _in spite_ of him. Maybe he was necessary to get it where it is and can step back and have the company continue to perform well.

I think the concern is not their output but the fact that Musk could one day just decide he will no longer provide rockets when $political_party is in power.
