Re: And will he be given the difference if the share price is higher after the case?
Only people who should care are those buying or selling.
As others have noted, the stock price affects the company's cost of borrowing money. So it does matter to the firm even aside from actual trades.
That said, I think Tesla's position in this spat is completely ridiculous. It looks like an attempt to punish a whistleblower and suppress similar actions in the future, and the valuations are absurd. But then Musk is a loose cannon who's not a tenth as smart as he thinks he is, and Tesla does not appear to be a particularly well-run company.
