      I honestly thought he founded both companies back then. I don’t know if that he just bought them was obvious/something everyone should know or if I was clueless. I guess maybe it is a mix of both.

      He founded SpaceX not bought it. He bought Tesla when it was a failing startup with an unsellable prototype.

      It probably was the smart people he hired that made them successful but he very definitely didnt just buy thriving businesses and claim their existing success as his.

      The guy is an ass and a terrible person, but he very definitely was instrumental in building those companies
