      My respect for his "inventive genius" paled sharply when I discovered that he'd bought the legal right to call himself "the founder of Tesla" from the people who actually founded Tesla (and they contractually pledged to cease describing themselves thus).

          And then the fact that he calls himself "Chief Engineer" of Tesla while the actual "Chief Engineer" of Tesla has some stupid title like "Chief Operational Engineer" and his PR flacks harass any journo who calls the Chief Engineer "Chief Engineer."

          I mean that's some pretty big "Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain" energy.

          Can you share documentation on this founding of Tesla story? I feel like I’m frequently confronting the PR residue in people’s minds wrt Mister Musk and this story would seem to scrub the noxious air pretty clean

          Literally the first sentence of the Wikipedia entry for Tesla.

          To those curious this seems to be an objective account of what happened https://www.wired.com/2009/06/eberhard/ … Elon appears to be less genuine than what I first thought

          I'm wondering how genuine you thought he was in the first place considering his family history.

          I believed it was a well known fact that he invested in Tesla then developped it.

          You believed Wrong! Every one assume his genius founded both Spacex & Tesla. Hence the Genius-Savior personal brand & all the passes that came with it

          Well. That’s a new wrinkle in my deep distaste for this guy.
