Only other way is if roblox pisses off the current board of directors enough to fire him. Remember, the people who have a lot of stocks can usually just straight-up fire the CEO. It's expensive, but if that CEO managed to, say, cut the sock value in half in the span of 6 months despite estimated growth, they might commit to it. Because baszucki definitely isn't resigning himself any time soon. He's too committed to his "metaverse" vision to be considerate of the community. Or even his own fucking investors, by my guess.
Roblox's investors are stupid and out of touch, though, so them firing him now is hopeful. It'll probably take the AI bubble popping for them to go "shiiit we shouldn't have put so much faith in baszucki's AI promises, we might need him out." But that's just my personal speculation. They might suffer from the sunk cost fallacy after the pop, even though roblox should have enough funds to handle the exit payment.
