    Good, maybe the dems will actually have to start fulfilling their promises to get people to vote then.

    Let’s start with Student Loan forgiveness.

    Then we can move on to lowering the military budget.

    I think private transportation as a whole is unsustainable and unreasonable as our primary mode of transportation

    We should begin transitioning to foot traffic and public transportation and leave the roads to drivers who can’t find an ideal alternative solution

    Agreed and that view seems to be gaining traction and becoming its own movement

    You're in here praising Elon but worried about Dems fulfilling promises

    There was no company at that point, there were no employees.

    It was registered on a piece of paper that their is a company named Tesla Motors, that is it

    There is a narrative that Elon bought Tesla when it was already an established business, this is not true. Elon helped found the company. Without him, there is no Tesla.

    This is not hard to explain.

    Just because he is not the one on the incorporation papers does not change that fact

    Yes. Buses and trains have to be normal again if the auto industry will stop trying to come up with fake solutions. People don't even realize how bad electric cars are for the environment just to get the lithium to make them

    Why so

    Large funds with a strategic investment in social media/data collection platforms will see Twitter going private as an increase in risk and likely move back into Meta

    Sigh.

    July 2003 - The company was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.

    https://www.thestreet.com/technology/history-of-tesla-15088992


    February 2004 - The company raised $7.5 million in series A funding, including $6.5 million from Elon Musk

    Musk became the chairman of the board of directors and the largest shareholder of Tesla.

    https://www.thestreet.com/technology/history-of-tesla-15088992


    2005 - Tesla begins work on their first vehicle

    July 2006 - Prototypes of Tesla's first car, the Roadster, were officially revealed to the public

    https://electrek.co/2016/07/19/tesla-roadster-debut-10-years-ago-gallery/


    August 2007 - CEO & Tesla founder Eberhard steps down as he is failing the company

    https://www.cnet.com/culture/tesla-ceo-steps-down-as-possible-delays-loom/


    October 2008 - Elon becomes CEO

    https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-the-origin-story-2014-10


    Remainder if the year, Tesla starts production on Roadster
    https://www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a1835876/first-tesla-roadster-look-back-early-adopters-electric-car/

    The rest is history.

    Tesla would be nothing without Elon, he didn’t “buy it” from anyone. There was nothing to Tesla before Elon.

    Just because he wasn’t the one to come up with the name of the company doesn’t mean he is not a founder.

    The first article you linked to doesn't make any inference that Elon founded the company or had a hand in creating the Roadster outside of fundraising and joining their board of directors.

    It even says that the original founders were the ones with plans for the Roadster:

    Originally, Eberhard and Tarpenning dreamed of building an entirely electric sports car. In 2006 they unveiled the prototype for their Tesla Roadster which entered production in 2008.

    eh. I just personally think it's a stretch to think that would win him voters, because that is effectively what he has to do. besides, that difference in voters in the 2020 election has probably already more than flipped to the R side after a couple rocky years.
