    He wants people to believe he founded Tesla so bad. Such a little bitch. Hahaha

      Imagine having the easiest PR case of all time and somehow fucking it up this badly.

      How many people get the opportunity of “shut your mouth and you’ll be lauded as a genius” (by people who don’t know you well).

      Was coming here to say the same thing, he loves it way too much that it’s the myth people stuck to. Musks company was folded into the company that eventually became paypal, but had nothing to do with virtual banks.

      Plus none of this mentions he already had a fortune before starting any of it.

        Musks company was folded into the company

        Even that’s genereous wording.

        Musk bought himself into Confinity(Peter Thiel and others company), made himself CEO and started making insane demands to the point where Peter Thiel quit and the board forced Musk out as CEO and replaced him with Thiel. (Musk wanted Thiel to rewrite his entire program from unix to windows, and the board knew that without him PayPal would never get off the ground.)

        He did the same thing with Tesla(and other companies), bought his way into CEO and started making demands. But at that time he had a PA that kept his insane demands away from the crucial engineers and people working on important tasks. It’s the same PA that stopped working for him a few months before his public reputation went to shit.

    He didn’t found PayPal, either… Dude is a giant phoney. Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek are the actual people that started it.

    Actually, he looks like a John Travolta impersonator fucked a Street Shark, then fed their child on a diet of lemons and romantic stories about 1920s snake oil salesmen.
