Musk isn't even the founder of tesla though.

Good meme regardless.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 53 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, he invested in the existing Tesla company, and then forced them to list him as a founder.

If Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla, then Stalin was the founder of Berlin.

He's not a founder, or a visionary. The rest is spot on, though.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing.

Yeah. But probably spend a lot of money and marketing to get them through the founding stage, iirc. Just because someone overtakes a young company doesn't mean they didn't have an impact.

Sank the ship, too.
