And this isn't even right, 2 people founded Tesla the other 3 are investors....

Careful, Musk might send the internet goon squad after you for saying that. He gets very upset if you call him an investor in Tesla.

Starlink is trash too, come at me Elon

Starlink is shitty and yet where I'm at its still easily the cheapest, fastest, and most reliable option. Infuriating really.

The internet has ruined me, because I read goon squad and thought of the other 'gooning'.

You don't them after you either.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I dont understand

[–] misophist@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Excuse me, but one of the conditions of Elon's investment was that they pretend he was a founder and refer to him as such!

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

It wasn't a condition of his initial investment, but rather of a lawsuit settlement five years later, in 2009 (six years after Eberhard and Tarpenning actually founded it).
