I mean, “stealing” is a strong word. Elon bought them out, and they’re both enjoying a net worth in the hundreds of million.
What’s more disturbing about Elon’s tenure as head of the company is how social media manipulation, insider trading, and blatant SEC violations can pump a company’s valuation into the stratosphere.
Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard both continued to contribute advances in engineering that far exceeded the Tesla project. But they’ll never have the kind of easy credit Elon secured through politics and media manipulation. So don’t expect to see them included among the ranks of “billionaire” any time soon.
That will never, ever, ever happen. Dems love an oligarch just as much, if not more, than republicans. China is the only country that prosecutes wealthy criminals.
Don’t worry, we won’t get a Blade Runner-esc hellscape.
Because Blade Runner for a movie had to give us a fascinating world that was interesting that even as a hellscape there was a “Man, it’d be cool to be there.”
No, our hellscape is going to be more like how fast food restaurants all look the same now, the corporate architecture version of taupe agreed to by committee.
As they should, stupid over complicated and absolutely failure ridden unnecessary design. kinda like this poorly worded statement
Musk nearly bankrupted Tesla when he insisted that the door handles must be flush after stealing the company from its original founders.

With any luck Elon with be in jail in a few years when Democrats try to prove we shouldn’t abandon this socioeconomic system entirely.

Well, then I hope you guys are ready for a revolution unless you’re fine with a Blade Runner esc hellscape.
