Two points, one minor and one major:
1) Reddit and Infogami merged into Not a Bug, not reddit.
2) Musk acted as a cofounder after the merge; Swartz did not. Swartz stuck around for a couple months post-merge then disappeared. So if you want to call him a "reddit cofounder", you can only do so in the loosest terms possible. He wasn't there for the founding and he didn't put in the work, but it says "cofounder" on the company papers.
