The reason most people know about musk is because of Tesla not the other way around.

Which is to say that if Tesla hadn’t produced great cars nobody would give a shit about what the guy that started PayPal had to say. He’s famous because Tesla delivered, his so called celebrity status didn’t make the cars popular.




and Tesla delivered great cars because he played an important role in making that happen?

Or did he jump in as CEO after Tesla became popular?
