I don’t know why this is such a meme. According to elon basically him, jb and martin eberhard founded tesla which was a holding company that acquired AC propulsion and the basic IP.

Regardless, of how you label it Elon created Tesla and there is no Tesla without elon.

Do we say the Warren Buffet owes everything to the founder of the New Bedford based Jewelry company Berkshire Hathaway? Hate Musk all you want but IDK why people try and discredit him with stuff like this

EDIT: Changed AP => AC

That's not what the actual founders say though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eblPwXFb7TE

They say he was not a founder within the first minute of the video.

He was definitely not a founder of Tesla - it was a small startup in the industrial area of San Carlos.
