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

yeah but words have actual meanings and he’s in no way actually a founder

It seems that he is indeed a founder, at least as per the aforementioned court decision.

But it doesn't matter much. In the diagram, I haven't listed him as a co-founder of Tesla to be on the safe side

again founder = someone who founded a company. he’s a founder like he’s a person with a physics degree (only in his own head)

I have the experience of founding a company, and see no problem with calling someone a founder if he is contributing so much in the yearly years of the company.

But again, who cares? It doesn't change much either way.

It matters because it shows what a petty nozzle he is and how his entire “resume” is mostly spin, lies and half truth (and that he’s mostly just a proped up fantasy by uncritical supporters, Peter thiel and other shadowy figures )

Wow, someone did a thing so they're an expert on it throughout the entire business world, the legal system, language. All you do is keep repeating the same thing, which suggest you actually don't understand this, but are repeating talking points. Which would be pretty typical for an Elon stan.

So you're being intentionally obtuse? Repeating what you said above is in no way an answer to the fact that words have meaning, and per those meaning, he's not a founder.

Court documents don't change the definition of words, and courts don't change what actually happened. Courts have opinions, and you have yours, but words have meaning all on their own, quite independent of your opinion.
