I am flattered my opinion on Elon means so much to you, so I will throw you a bone. You left out some facts I consider important, like he had to go to court to be retroactively considered a founder. A person who values a good debate would address such common criticisms head on instead of pretending that is not a relevant fact to be addressed. I simply value a good debate and this is not it.
Your opinion on Elon is of little concern to me. I was addressing facts alone.
Buy a quick googling, the lawsuit you are referencing is from the late 2010s around the time Eberhard was pushed out of the company. And thus I stand by my earlier statements about the company's history. As I said, there was no love lost there.
But I am still trying to address your original position that Elon showed up after everything was done and took credit for it all, which I don't believe is accurate.
If my opinion is of no consequence then let us both find a more meaningful endeavor
