Tesla faces a reckoning with CEO Elon Musk's job in jeopardy

The Tesla CEO who made his fortune and his renegade-genius reputation by bursting through the barriers of conventional thinking faces a humiliating comedown as government regulators try to oust him from the company in a lawsuit accusing him of duping the electric car maker's stockholders.
But extracting Musk from the company he has become synonymous with could devastate Tesla.
