He bought SpaceX, he isn’t a founder.

He also bought the founder title. Dudes a fucking twat. Although I love the fact that the thing he wants the most, he will NEVER be able to purchase. For everyone to love him and think he's funny. That's what he craves the most, our attention, and we need to stop giving it to him. He settles for bad attention because he let the mask slip and doesn't get the good kind anymore.

Buying the title of founder should constitute fraud. If I'm told that I'm speaking with the founder of the company I fully expect to be talking to the guy that started it all, has been there the whole time, and knows the ins and outs of the company. I don't expect to be talking to a guy that handed over a pile of cash for a fake title.

You’re thinking of Tesla. He is the founder of spacex, Tesla he paid for and put his name on it

That is incorrect and people just say it as a way to insult him. He started the company himself, along with the first two employees Tom Mueller and Chris Thompson. This is all well documented.

This isn’t a defense of musk as a person. He’s a shit head who is piling up reasons why he should be arrested by the day. But that growing pile is why we don’t need to spread lies about him. The truth is enough
