> Elon Musk didn't found Tesla, In any other company, Elon would have had "founder status" as part of the negotiations when he bankrolled the company basically from day 1. The company wouldn't have existed at all without him. This isn't abnormal for people who provide initial startup capital, are the chairman of the board, and are directly involved with company operations, being considered as founder. I really don't like this repeated attempts to try to discredit Elon's involvement in Tesla. And no, there's no evidence of him being "fired for incompetence" from Paypal. > But he sure is great at taking credit for the work of others, On the contrary, whenever people in interviews try to credit him with things he immediately returns credit to whichever company is being talked about. I've seen this dozens of times. He's not once tried to take public credit for the work of Tesla or SpaceX workers.
