    I suspect not. Even if they still work with SpaceX, the contracts could be handled in a way that doesn’t involve him. He could still manage the overall direction of the company but have others manage projects that require a clearance. I don’t know if this has ever been done before or if it would ever be done, but it is theoretically possible.

    Alternatively, they could make a requirement that either Musk steps down, or is removed, from his position at SpaceX or they stop getting contracts. This would almost certainly work because the company doesn’t survive without these contracts most likely, or at least makes far less money. The board cares more about money than they do about him probably.
