      It sounds like nobody played much of a role at all until ol’ moneybags showed up. Money talks, bullshit walks as they say

      He did not play a meaningful role in the beginning of the company and is not responsible for its success. Money was responsible

      You say that, but applies just as well to the first 2 founders.

      the two founders’ expertise was responsible

      What expertise? Seriously, tell me what they actually brought to the table aside from pitching their idea for a company and attracting venture capitalist money. They registered the name of a company and had ideas. Not expertise. They hired the expertise, with Musk’s money.

      Speaking of missing the forest for the trees, tell me this: Is an automotive company “founded” as soon as someone registers the name, or when they begin actual engineering efforts towards building an automobile?

        See I’d tend to think that founding a company has to be more than just registering a name. Like maybe that’s the dictionary definition, but it seems a bit weak if that’s it.

        Did musk hire expertise? Or do the actual engineering?

        It sounds like your actual argument is that neither he nor they founded the company.

        I guess it just sprang into existence on its own…

        Was elon choosing who was hired, and managing the initial company team?

        Cause if writing the title and coming up with the ideas doesnt count as founding, giving up some cash doesnt either. Thats just buying a company, not founding it.

          Yes? That’s basically what the initial 5 cofounders/investors did. Start hiring people and managing the company. They basically formed the board of directors.

          I know you’re desperate to paint Musk in a bad light in any way possible, but how do you pretend that Musk just handed over cash and did nothing else while other people are calling him a micromanaging control freak?
