Mr. Musk gave an emotional interview to The New York Times about how “excruciating” the past year has been. Another danger to Tesla and Mr. Musk is this: The S.E.C. could seek to bar Mr. Musk from serving as a director or an officer of a public company if he is found to have committed fraud. It could force Mr. Musk out of Tesla. Mr. Musk could offer a more innocent explanation, such as he was merely jumping the gun to reveal his desire to take the company private.
