I don't why people bring up the allegations like they had any backing whatsoever. They were debunked by a 3rd party investigation.

Yes an investor. Yet, Elon became the largest shareholder when he did invest and actively helped in development/decision-making of the first car. Take off your shit tinted glasses for a second and be rational.

He became chairman in 2004 are you saying that's after Tesla was widely successful? When he won the Global Green for the roadster are you saying some random investor would get that?

How so? Was it producing the first mainstream electric car? Was it because that car traveled 200+mi? Was it because they created one of the quickest cars in the world? Was it because they made a massive charging network?

Do help me.

I'm sorry I'm a rational person who doesn't feel the need to constantly mention the person I dislike.

This post is absolutely stupid, but keeps getting reposted because people have a hate boner for Elon Musk.

Tesla started in July 2003, Elon invested $6.5 Million in February 2004. That makes him a co-founder. Their first electric car was released in 2008 with Elon as CEO.(1)

You don't get a startup to the seventh most valuable company by being lazy or lucky.(2)

Sure, if you ignore all of human history it sounds like nightmare capitalism.
