See I’d tend to think that founding a company has to be more than just registering a name. Like maybe that’s the dictionary definition, but it seems a bit weak if that’s it.
Comment on Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitism
weew@lemmy.ca 7 months agoHe did not play a meaningful role in the beginning of the company and is not responsible for its success. Money was responsible
You say that, but applies just as well to the first 2 founders.
the two founders’ expertise was responsible
What expertise? Seriously, tell me what they actually brought to the table aside from pitching their idea for a company and attracting venture capitalist money.

Did musk hire expertise? Or do the actual engineering?
It sounds like your actual argument is that neither he nor they founded the company.

I was meaning to respond but I think other’s have. I have one of those 30+ min YouTube videos or similarly ridiculously long blog posts (and a longform article somewhere…) though I think you might not be interested so I’ll keep it to myself unless you are interested in a good faith argument (argument, root word is the latin argumentum, to make clear; prove), I would rather not waste your time or my breath if that isn’t the case.

Was elon choosing who was hired, and managing the initial company team?
Cause if writing the title and coming up with the ideas doesnt count as founding, giving up some cash doesnt either. Thats just buying a company, not founding it.

Yes? That’s basically what the initial 5 cofounders/investors did.
I know you’re desperate to paint Musk in a bag light on any way possible, but how do you pretend that Musk just handed over cash and did nothing else while other people are calling him a micromanaging control freak?
