In which case he'd sell the company, deorbit the satellites and close it down, or abandon it and the satellites would come down shortly by themselves. In any case, the upside far outweighs any downside.

I mean Musk aside shit talking your private companies boss or CEO publicly on social media is a good way to get yourself fired period. Doesn't matter where you work.

That is keeping a job 101.
