Don't tell that to all the people who believe Elon Musk founded Tesla.
- justrealist 3y agoElon's experience at Tesla is a great example of why the technicals of who incorporated the original entity doesn't matter.
- 7e 3y agoAre you kidding? Without the founders Tesla would not have existed. They took the risk and had the vision. Musk then came in later as an opportunist.
- kortilla 3y agoTesla would not exist without Musk either. It was on life support even with Musk nearly going bankrupt throwing money into it while he was running it.
- 7e 3y agoAre you kidding? Without the founders Tesla would not have existed. They took the risk and had the vision. Musk then came in later as an opportunist. Definitions very much matter. Truth matters.
- justrealist 3y agoI'm going to assume this is a good-faith confusion about the history of Tesla, so I'll link to it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Tesla,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Tesla,_Inc. The company existed for 6 months before Musk became involved. It had no product, no prototype, and not even a real design for a product. It took most of a decade to turn that into a real car, all of which time Elon was involved.
- sgt 3y agoTrue. Yet there wouldn't be a Tesla today without Elon. Arguably that is a kind of founder in its own right.
- 7e 3y agoAnd Elon wouldn’t exist without his parents. Tesla wouldn’t exist if George Washington hadn’t won the war of independence from England. Does that make them founders of Tesla? Everyone contributed, but truth matters.
