    Tesla, founded by the billionaire CEO Elon Musk, has frequently faced scrutiny over safety issues.

    That is incorrect

      It is legally correct, but factually incorrect.

        Legally how? Was Musk on the original state registration?

          He sued for the title and won.

            I’m too petty to be a reporter, every time I’d write: “musk, who retroactively won the right to be considered a founder of Tesla in court, …”

              It’d also be technically true to say “Elon Musk, CEO and self-proclaimed founder of Tesla…”

              But do you want to distance Musk from the accident by clarifying it’s not really his company?

      Is this the company where he paid a sum of money to the real founder or founders to be called the founder?
      Or was that another company?

        Correct on the first part, I don’t know if he did it for other companies as well.

            And it worked. That’s the worst part. This article and others call him the founder.

      Yet every time the two are mentioned everyone says he’s the founder
