And then Elon Musk buys 1416000 Shares of TESLA Motors (2011) (2 points) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2638859

The Elon fan boys, are always under that impression. Plus the PR machine is always trying to create that impression. Take a look at the wikipedia page for Tesla, there has been an edit war for several years trying to create the impression that Elon created Tesla Motors.

Elon bought the trademark. The "founders" didn't have the right to the name
