  For that matter, he’s also not a founder of SpaceX, and even calling him co-founder of PayPal has a lot of clarifications around it. If PayPal had gone ahead the way Musk had wanted, it could easily have sunk the company into another joke of the excess of the dot-com boom of the 90s.

    Among all of Peter Thiel’s sins, propping up Musk’s ego by forcing him out of the company to save it is one of them

    As much as I am loath to say anything about Musk, but he did actually found SpaceX - although that’s probably the only company he founded (that still exists).

    A founder of shit, like most of us. Only with gigantic funds.

  He’s the flounder of Tesla.

    Nope. He was an early investor who sued so that he could call himself a founder.

    He isn’t an original founder.
