Elon seems to want all the benefits of a public company with none of the obligations. Either way seems more and more that he better be right up there on his high wire without a net.

I'm not a company law expert. But IMO such actions would not be legal in the EU.
Its not legal anywhere. A publicly traded company is not your property. Its a legal entity.

You cannot exchange any value between two just because you are majority owner of both. Otherwise elon with 51% could start Zesla (own 100% of it) and transfer all assets from Tesla to Zesla.

The value of the hardware is around $360 million.

What can he get for acting to the detriment of the company in the US?

Evidently he can get a $50B payout
