He built the company from the ground up and this career politician has the nerve to say he's betraying his shareholders. Do people who dislike Elon not realize this is a personal attack or don't care because "he's not on our side"?
Wasn't Tesla founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, with Musk coming on as an investor later?
