Reply to comment by born_in_cyberspace in [OC] The business track record of Elon Musk by born_in_cyberspace

Fun fact, these are Elon's thoughts about who should call themselves a co-founder:

> I believe that the title of founder is critically important and morally requires that you are physically engaged in doing the really hard founding work involved in the very important early founding months/years of the company. I wasn’t there and I didn’t do that hard work at/for Solar City, so it’s not ethical that I refer to myself as a Solar City Founder or co-Founder”.

Assuming the same applies to Tesla, Musk shouldn't call himself any kind of founder. Especially not without a physics degree.

As I understand, the consensus is that Musk indeed played a major role in the early founding years of Tesla. Otherwise, the court decision would be against him.

I suppose Eberhard didn't have that much leverage after getting kicked out of the company that he founded.
