Well strictly speaking Tesla wasn’t started by “that guy who wants to go to Mars.” It was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon Musk just bought a ton of shares in the company and erased them from the official history of the company. He does that.
just an aside: Tesla was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. You-know-who had nothing to do with it.
That reminds me of a guy in high school 20 years ago. He was failing math class and the teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he got out of college. He said he wanted to be an engineer, but he hates math. The teacher couldn’t stop laughing. The principal was walking by and came in. The teacher showed him the kid’s last test score and the principal slowly shook his head and said, “Don’t hold your breath. MIT won’t be calling.”
She’s got it wrong. You have to inherit a fortune based on your family’s investment in apartheid gem mining, then buy into a big tech startup, THEN buy into a car company that already existed and declare yourself the creator.
Funny how Musk was such a hero to liberals until he came out in favor of free speech. Now his fomer admirers who despise one of the core principles of the Enlightenment all jump over themselves to show how they hate him. . .

A prospectus is nothing more than a " brag sheet "

Yep, it sounds soooo easy if you don’t have to do it yourself.

I believe everything she says – she should be the CEO of some company or other.

Just do as Musk – buy one and insist your name is put on list of founders

Just make sure you let prospective donors know that your “funding” is “secured”.

Get a gimmick, go on tik-tok and youtube. You’ll be rolling in dough.

Actually, you don’t need to start a new car company. You just need to buy a car company. With money from your parent(s).

Makes sense. What else are you going to drive? The horses will be too busy scrounging for food

Anyone who treats Musk as a hero definitely needs counseling. More so when it’s a kid, becauze there’s a higher chance the counseling will work.

Elon didn’t, he started an e-finance company and sold it, then bought a car company

Sorry Danae, first you need to be born into wealth, then buy someone else’s rising car company.

Why did they call it ABBOTT AND COSTELLO GO TO MARS when they actually went to Venus?
