Although Georg Ohm discovered one of the most fundamental laws in the field of electricity, his work was ignored by his colleagues, and he lived in poverty for much of his life.

FSD Beta 10.12 will include a new model for cars in the visualization. The new model for sedans has wheels, unlike the previous floating Tesla key design.
Open doors will also be shown in the visualization. Can’t wait. @elonmusk

Remember when this used to be something that shocked us? Now it just casually touches down for the 12th time and it’s absolutely no big deal. Seeing SpaceX continue to push these boosters and make reuse a reality is so normal and routine, it’s almost boring 😂 Yay!

Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning had sold their previous company for 187 million dollars, yet they were only willing to put a meager amount into Tesla.

Are you going to write a book about the history of Tesla & SpaceX?
Write the truth and what was happening inside the companies a few years ago.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 21, 2022
I should, but that would take a lot of time away from Tesla, SpaceX & other work. Walter Isaacson is writing a book.

@elonmusk · Apr 21, 2022
I put in all I had, whereas Eberhard, who was worth over $10M at the time, refused to invest a penny to help Tesla.
If it was really his baby, he would never have stood by while it starved to death.

Eberhard has been relentlessly pushing a false narrative about Tesla for 15 years. He’s a compelling liar. Fooled me for almost 3 years.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Apr 21, 2022
But if he was actually capable of creating a company like Tesla, he would have done so after he was fired for lying outrageously about cost & progress of Roadster in mid 2007.
We would’ve lost at least a few talented people if he was the real deal, but we lost no one.

When Eberhard was fired unanimously by the board in July 2007 (for damn good reasons), no one left with him. That says it all.

If filing a shell corp constitutes “founding a company”, then I’d be the only founder of PayPal, since I filed the original incorporation docs for X.com (later renamed PayPal), but that’s not what founding means.

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!

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.

This conversation with @elonmusk is a master class in rocket engineering / Raptor 2. A lot of what we talk about is PERFECT for my next video about engine cycles. The video will be out “When It’s Done™” but we’re very close to our final. Then the full Elon interviews will drop!
