      It was founded in July 2003 and Elon joined and funded it only 6 months after. This was before the company had even begun operating. A 5th employee joined 4 months later called Straubel. They all wanted to be able to called ‘founders’ because they essentially were founders; the company needed Elon’s investment to be able to start the companies operations and needed to hire Straubel to be able to develop a battery cell design and Straubel is an expert on energy systems. The 5 of them later agreed to be known as ‘co-founders’.

Then when god was going to punish him for that he was given the choice when ever he should accetp the punishment or his people, he choose that his subjects be punish for his sins.

    I was concerned when I learned that Musk was wealthy in Apartheid SA, but I didn’t really look into it because every white family was wealthy compared to the majority black population. That’s not to say that background is excusable, but it’s not so unusual that someone of relatively modest wealth otherwise would evolve beyond their racist homeland, especially after immigrating to US. My parents really understood a lot about the borked classism of Turkey and their own prejudices thoroughly after we immigrated.
    But when I heard that he walked around with emeralds in his pockets as a teenager and casually sold them in New York for 30x less than what they were worth, that’s how little of a dent it made into his family’s fortune, I knew this man couldn’t be trusted. The Abigail Disney’s of the world are anomalies. I immediately began scrutinizing Tesla and Solar City’s business models. It was always a sham. It was always grandstanding. It was always going to function in opposition to most basic socialist ideals-I mean FDR-level socialism-and it would never part from that model because it depended on fame to be profitable. That mindset does not a reliable employment benefit plan make. When the company was unprofitable, the investment went to capital and administration; the workers, whom you would think would be just as valuable as capital because they were fundamental to the production, were not prioritized as such. And why would they be? It’s just another expense. They would be replaced with robots _eventually_ in Musk’s grand scheme and robots don’t have feelings against slavery.
    Yet.
