> Didn’t he buy into all of his companies?

No, he founded them.

Tesla technically existed on paper before Musk, but they didn’t even have a working prototype, and their facility was a home garage. In all practical terms he founded Tesla as well.

Twitter he bought obviously, which is why I didn’t mention it.






He didn’t found Tesla, The Boring Company or Twitter and got ousted from PayPal.

… also I was looking at your comments, your rate of Elon glaze per min is really impressive.


He did found Tesla, like I mentioned, and I didn’t mention the other two companies.

You seem to be acting in bad faith here.

"No, Elon Musk did not found Tesla; the company was originally founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2003. Musk became involved later as an investor and eventually took on leadership roles, including CEO, after a legal battle over the title of founder."


lol

>No, he founded them.

That is a complete and utter lie. Even Hannity made this obvious in his interview yesterday and the look on Elon’s face was priceless.
