I guess there is a high probability that he will drag boardroom disagreements out into the open, so in that sense they will have to "argue" with him. In general boards vote to settle things and then it is settled, they are not supposed to be arguing indefinitely - the chair calls the question and the matter gets settled.
Can Musk keep his board seat? That is my question, being an unruly character when you don't have full control usually gets you turfed from a board for violating confidences pretty quickly, but IDK.
Everything "goes up" when Elon first gets near it. That's the benefit of an army of Twitter worshippers. Whether there is any lasting value to his involvement beyond the pump is the question.
If he kills the stupid pop-over login box that's supposed to force me to make an account I'll call that lasting value.
Sorry, I don't understand how this reply relates to my comment.
Are you saying that the price bump will keep him on the board? The fear of a drop will keep him on the board? I can see that, but in the long run the valuation shouldn't be affected unless he is actually a good member of the board.

The short answer was that yes, because investors will believe he will add value and so will keep him on the board. And investors are the ones that decide.
Separately, it's possible this was done as part of a non-aggression pact.
