Yes, but it isn’t in service to us, the patrons.
It’s in service to his investment.
He knew Baker was in place and that Baker would never compromise his innate loyalty to the Democrats.
He wasn’t initially fired with the rest of the liberal deadwood.
Why?
What he couldn’t do was relieve Baker of his duties for NO cause because (you can bet that) Baker negotiated a HUGE golden parachute poison pill.
And it wasn’t 4 months’ pay as severance.
Now, Baker was told to jump without his parachute because he threw it away by acting against the interest of the (!! private !!) owner.
Private is key here...he is no longer protected by a Board that hired him.
Baker will sue for all or part of his parachute.

Thank you for pointing out the legal ramifications in the timing of the firing. Excellent reasoning.
Can’t dispute anything you say, for sure, but I am hoping that Musk is also working for the good of the country while protecting his own enterprise.
