Kirstin Osgood's tweet - "@StephenKing "

I think Elon Musk is a visionary. Almost singlehandedly, he’s changed the way Americans think about automobiles. I have a Tesla and love it. That said, he’s been a terrible fit for Twitter. He appears to be making it up as he goes along.

@JeffFishey

Can we be adults and recognize these 3 facts? 1. Those two men deserve credit for inventing Tesla. 2. Elon Musk deserves credit for scaling Tesla to behemoth levels. 3. Both of those things are 1,000x more impressive than anything Kirstin Osgood has ever done.

We’ve debunked this myth. Tesla was a shell company with absolutely no assets. Martin wasn’t a founder. Check this out: Elon Musk on the Early Days of Tesla: Interview Part 1 youtu.be/AeeeEDSekG8

And you never would have heard of them or their car if Musk didn’t invest in the company and eventually take it over. You know this, but it’s trendy to bash success these days.

These guys created a company in 2003 that Elon invested 6.5 millions in 2004 and became CEO in 2008. I think it is fair to say that Tesla is what it is today under Elon.

Small secret: It doesn't matter I'm not an elon fan, I just find the debate ridiculous. Almost anyone can start up a company, but not anyone can navigate hurdles and make it grow and succeed. Where are the two founders? What companies did they grow successfully?

Well aware Elon didn’t invent Tesla. The same for Steve Jobs didn’t invent folders, xerox did. But if it wasn’t for them probably we wouldn’t know Tesla and wouldn’t have folders in our PC. Same applies to Ray Kroc. No McDonald without him.

That doesn't matter. There is a big difference between having a concept and a production ready model. The concept of EV is known already from 1900. It was Elon making a success of Tesla! The best engine possible, the best battery,...

So those two nobodies started Tesla, is was a small obscure struggling company and the. asking bought it and turned it into what it is today. Makes you wonder how far he can take a company that ISNT in shambles before he applies his approach to it. But it looks like we will see.

Yes. And in the same way Musk has elevated Tesla from unknown to what we know today, he'll hopefully do the same for Twitter. Or he'll just kill it. I'm fine with either.
