Popularity and familiarity certainly matters. When someone mentions Tesla most think cars not person despite the person coming first. There was also an iPhone before the Apple iPhone, but of course hardly anyone means the product meant by Linksys/Cisco.
- xcambar 6y agoAgreed. But if Tesla (the company) even remotely helped some people learn about Nikola Tesla, that's already something good, in my book. NB: I've had this thought that naming a company Tesla, once you know the history of Nikola Tesla, his legend and legacy, is bold and it says something about E. Musk's self-esteem. :shrug:
- alphabettsy 6y agoElon didn’t name the company, it already existed when he got on board, but I see your point.
- xcambar 6y agoTIL. Thanks!
