Do we credit calculus to Isaac Newton, the guy who invented it, or to Charles II, the random schmuck who happened to be king at the time? Why on earth should we give founders credit for work done by other people?

Musk is a lazy ketamine addict. He doesn't do anything other than tweet at himself from his alt accounts and fail upward, disproving meritocracy in the process.

I didn’t ask about kings, repeating the question to help you:

> Why don’t you think it’s fair or accurate to credit founders with the work their companies do?

Also do you have any evidence for the either of the two attacks on Musk?

It is not fair when it deprives the people working in the company of the recognition. Those people are critical to the successes.

Why do you think crediting founders with the work their companies do means that people working in the company cannot also be credited?

They can, and they should. Sometimes it is done. But to me it feels that many times a disproportionate amount of credit goes to founders/CEOs. People even fighting over whether for example Elon is successful or not, and completely disregarding everyone else in the organization. Or course the organizations are complex, but also mostly opaque - we do not know who does what.
