He’s damaging the company’s finances in other ways now too.
He sold a bunch of Tesla stock (admittedly his right to do so) to buy Twitter. However, now he’s demanding the board give him more stock so he’ll have more control back. Uh, Mr. Musk, you HAD the stock and control, but you traded it away to buy a social media platform. No one made you do that. Further, why should the company give you more stock when another social media platform may catch your eye and you sell all your stock again. You just can’t be trusted with it after your past behavior with it.
No thank you. No more Tesla control for you Mr. Musk.
To be fair, while they didn’t “make” him buy Twitter, they did twist his arm pretty good when presenting his options. Either it was a major federal financial crime, or he actually meant it and he was totally gonna follow through with it.

The “they” in your sentence was the SEC, not Tesla Inc.
Why should Tesla Inc be forced to part with more stock given to Mr. Musk to compensate for consequences of Mr. Musk’s own actions wholly separate from his duties and responsibilities at Tesla Inc?
He twisted his own arm. I didn’t really read the specifics but given the securities fraud he committed that the SEC did not prosecute, this one must have been pretty serious.

He wasn’t forced to go down the waterslide until he tried to stop halfway down.
