Musk didn't found Tesla, but Musk financed Tesla and made it successful. Before he was CEO Tesla was a disaster company that was driven straight into a trash pile by its original CEO. > after which Musk was then fired for incompetence The other founders wanted to sell the company, Musk wanted to turn it into an internet bank. Looking back Musk strategy was actually what Paypal should have gone with, rather then shackling itself to ebay. > But he sure is great at taking credit for the work of others Yeah because what really mattered for Tesla is what happened before 2008, every after that doesn't matter. Like seriously dude, I understand you dislike Musk on a personal level. But how can you be so blinded by hate as to suggest being CEO of a car company for literally 15 years (longest in the car industry) and that car company going from basically bankrupt to having the highest profit in the industry (outside of maybe Toyota) is not 'good management'? > including the work of Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX, who is, by all accounts, the real person in charge. 'By all accounts' and by that you mean by all accounts that Anti-Musk Twitter has made up to fuel their rage boner? Because its not the case based on Shotwells own account. Its not the case based on the account by literally anybody who actually worked there. Its not the case by the account by journalists and other observes who know the company very well. So really its not the case by any serious account. Shotwell was head of business development until well into the Falcon 9 development, did she do everything then too?
