Semantics.
He invested in a glorified kitset car manufacturer with unworkable tech. He fired the founder before the company died.
Then he changed the business model, raised significant money, forged new technology and created a wholly new industry. That is what founders do.

Not even close to that. It was a shell corp with no employees, no IP, no designs, no prototype, literally nothing but a biz plan to commercialize AC Propulsion’s Tzero car, which was introduced to me by JB Straubel, *not* Eberhard.
Even name “Tesla Motors” was owned by others!
