- tdylan 11y agoOnly recognised the last one. It's Steve Jurvetson, from DFJ. He got the one of the first Model S's. Also invested in Tesla.
- mikeyouse 11y ago"Also invested in Tesla" is a bit short... He's on the board at both Tesla and SpaceX (DFJ gave both tens of millions of dollars).. According to his Twitter / Flickr feed, he's probably the world's biggest Musk fan, and probably not just because his investments with Elon made him hundreds of millions in personal wealth.
- tdylan 11y agoWell aware of the history, did not find it immediately relevant. Also, Steve doesn't sell shares of most/any of the companies he invests in, he donates them.
- mikeyouse 11y agoApologies if that came off rude, I get a bit excited with SJ.. I'm almost as much of a Steve Jurvetson fan as many others are Elon Musk fans.. the dude is amazing. He should probably start delivering some of the Tesla event speeches, he's well-spoken but every bit as technical as Elon.
- tdylan 11y agoDidn't think it was rude at all. For what it's worth I enjoy Steve's talks more than Elon's, I think it's fair to say he's the smartest VC out there. Incredible breadth of intellect, and from what it seems, a really cool guy.
