In 3 years, it's not terribly unlikely that SpaceX will be worth more than Tesla is now (with most of the value from deploying Starlink). And Elon is significantly more vested in SpaceX than Tesla. If Tesla has continued to face challenges, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Starlink is spun-off as a highly profitable company (allowing Musk to maintain a majority interest in SpaceX proper) and Musk uses the capital from that to stabilize Tesla.

Of course, in 3 years, Tesla's situation could easily be vastly different in both directions. And Musk would probably prefer to fund Mars ambitions than necessarily Tesla.
