For what it’s worth, Elon Musk is not Tesla’s co-founder. He came in as a late investor and I believe one of the terms was that he’ll get the co-founder tag.
Founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors, the company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, via a US$6.5 million investment, X.com co-founder Elon Musk became the largest shareholder of the company and its chairman. He has served as CEO since 2008. [0]
