Is this really a good assumption for a guy who has started so many successful companies?
- officeplant 4y ago>started so many successful companies The only companies he actually founded was SpaceX, and Boring if that even counts.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoGiven how hard he fought against buying it even after he signed the paperwork to buy it I think we're forced to say "Yes".
- rurp 4y agoHe's hardly the first person to get rich flouting the law. Plus it's not at all clear how much credit he should get for the companies he invested in, aside from being a good fundraiser and hype man. There are plenty of stories about employees having to manage him to avoid him stepping on critical work.
- mikestew 4y agoWhat is your alternative explanation for how it turned out? "Didn't understand what he signed up for" is the only explanation that makes sense to me, given my second choice is "he's a fucking idiot that fell into money". Though I don't think Musk is nearly as smart as he (or a lot of his fans) thinks he is, he's no idiot, so... And you don't have to understand contract law to start a company (or in the majority of Musk's cases, invest in an existing company), that's what lawyers are for.
