Unfortunately we will never know how much Musk contributed to any of these companies.
It is in his best interest to act like he was vital but unless you were there, there isn’t any way to know.
- nverno 4y agoIf you want to get an idea, why not listen to some engineers that have worked with him? There are plenty of those around, for example, Andrej Karpathy talked a bit about working with Elon recently - https://youtu.be/cdiD-9MMpb0?t=5668 https://youtu.be/cdiD-9MMpb0?t=5668
- HWR_14 4y agoUnless it was off the record, I wouldn't. There are all kinds of potential conflicts of interests. These include ownership in companies where valuation is directly connected to Musk'a perceived competence and his ability to help/hinder their career.
