Tesla was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon Musk joined in 2004 as an investor, then became chairman. After a lawsuit in 2009, he was legally granted the title of co-founder, which shifted public perception.

Most people now believe Musk started the company, despite clear documentation showing otherwise. This post breaks down the timeline and how the narrative changed: https://nerds.xyz/2025/07/elon-musk-did-not-found-tesla

Would love to hear how others view the difference between legal co-founder status and historical fact, especially in tech startup culture.

an effective founder imo. it was nothing before he joined. the reason so people DONT point this fact out is that it ends up being extremely disingenuous to the reasons Tesla was successful.
