He bought the franchise for $2.7 million and paid the McDonald brothers a percentage of profits. I don't see a difference between Musk and Kroc in this regard.

He bought the franchise for $2.7 million and paid the McDonald brothers a percentage of profits. I don't see a difference between Musk and Kroc in this regard. Without Musk, Tesla wouldn't be what it is today just like without Kroc the McDonald brothers' business would have remained regional and small.
- bandyaboot 4y agoThe difference is precisely that Kroc is the founder of the company that is McDonalds while Musk is not the founder of Tesla. It’s a fact that Musk turned Tesla into what it is today. It’s possible to get that point across without falsely claiming you’re the founder of the company. Words have meanings.
- innocentoldguy 4y agoI disagree with your criticisms as you’ve stated them.
- skinnymuch 4y agoI’m confused. The parent shows one company was founded by the person. While in the other case, it wasn’t.
