Musk isn't even the founder of tesla though.

Good meme regardless.

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.

True on both accounts

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.
