Yes he did, one of six principle founders. He was also the founder of SpaceX. He didn’t found Tesla, but it was just three guys with an idea when he joined.

Not true. SpaceX was an existing technology and idea that needed investment, he simply bought into it with money he got from owning shares of PayPal after he was fired and after it blew up. Tesla was much more than “three guys with an idea,” you should actually look into the details. Musk joined Tesla after its founders had already been producing prototype, functional automobiles with their lithium ion battery tech. The actual founders of Tesla had built and sold a successful consumer electronics company that used its lithium battery tech to create a version of an e-reader. Musk bought in and was so toxic that the founders quit or were fired because of his massive ego and PayPal money. Musk owns no patents in Tesla except for additions to the doors and recharging plug(Musk patented a recharging plug to PREVENT other electric vehicle makers from using Tesla chargers). He’s actually a foolish man with very limited talent and no creativity. He is NOT responsible for Transformers nor LLM technological advancements.
