Elon Musk is the most famous CEO of Tesla, but he's not the company's founder. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded the company in 2003 and were the original executives. CNBC sat down with them to talk about the idea for Tesla Motors, the battery, Elon Musk and building its first car, the all-electric Roadster.

These guys are jealous. Elon put down $6.5 million of the $7.5 million to start Tesla. Elon literally put all the money down 6 months after the "paper work" was filed to incorporate Tesla. Without Elon, Tesla did not exist. These guys had the idea, but Elon absolutely is a founder. Eberhard even agreed in 2009 that Elon was a co-founder. These guys are jealous.

Things Eberhard and Tarpenning won't mention: * That they in turn are denying Gage and Cocconi credit (the people who actually built the powertrain that they wanted to put in a Lotus * That when Gage and Cocconi directed Musk to them, he was already working on starting an EV company with the exact same business plan as Eberhard and Tarpenning (though he was pursuing using a Noble as the chassis - same powertrain, though) * That when Musk was introduced to them, they had basically a shell of a company with no tech of its own and didn't even have the trademark rights to their own name. They were hardly any further along than Musk was. * That the reason Elon was only the fourth CEO was that despite repeated attempts by others to get him to take the role, he kept refusing, because he was busy with SpaceX * That Eberhard was kicked out of the CEO role not by Elon, but by a unanimous decision of the board, including a person he personally appointed, for repeatedly lying and hiding information about the company's dire straits - dire straits that he led the company into. * That Eberhard was literally quoted as saying that if anyone finds out about [what was going on], he'd be fired. (He was) * That the board wanted to sue Eberhard due to how much he had screwed them over, but decided not to because it would be bad PR. * That despite Eberhard - like Musk - being independently wealthy, he put little of his own money into the company; Musk shouldered the risk. Including nearly bankrupting himself cleaning up Eberhard's mess.

There are many other companies we love today where employees who came in much later changed the game for them.

It's a post-facto manufactured connection. In October 2003, Harold Rosen, the brother of Ben Rosen (chairman of Compaq, who bought my first company), invited me to lunch with himself and JB Straubel. They told me about a company called AC Propulsion that had developed an all electric sports car called the Tzero with a range of 300 miles, a 0 to 60 mph time of under 4 seconds and a lithium ion battery pack with seven thousand cells (email A below). A few months later, I met with Tom Gage, president of AC Propulsion, who gave me a test drive in the Tzero, which confirmed their claims. Over the course of several months, I tried repeatedly to convince AC Propulsion to commercialize the Tzero, but they were not interested. When I said I was moving forward with creating an electric car company anyway, Tom Gage offered to introduce me to one of two groups that were interested in commercializing the Tzero concept (email B below). The first one they introduced me to was Martin Eberhard and Ian Wright. - Elon Musk ( who even published the emails regarding this )

Seriously, how can you take what's yours already? Tesla wouldn't have existed without Musk's money. It was just a business plan. So what. Truth is, they failed. Not one solid dollar in real revenue came in the door before Musk replaced these guys and took over. See, there's this Silicon Valley culture that says that if you raise venture capital and are featured in TechCrunch, you're successful. You get paid, futz around, maybe sell the intellectual property, then move on. Revenue is true success, not fundraising. Filing the paperwork with your name on it and conducting experiments is different from bringing a compelling product to market and surviving long enough to turn a profit. Musk is the true CEO. Until he took over, Tesla Motors was just an expensive science project.

In Tesla case, I think Elon's genius isn't really needed, as they already have visionary founders from the start, they only needed Elon's money. It's arguable whether Tesla won't be as successful without Elon's leadership, but I don't think that what matters the most. Of course, Elon could've started his own electric car company, but that's reinventing the wheel and doesn't add a new innovation unlike SpaceX. In the case of SpaceX, it was Elon's vision and execution from the start, so I'll give him full credit for it.

@@clarkvaughan Building prototype cars and manufacturing cars at a large scale are two very different things; one is a design skill and the other is manufacturing process skill. Martin and Marc were the design guys (battery wise) and Lotus build the 'car around it'. Elon on the other hand brings money in. Elon is neither the design nor process guys (that's why he's going through production hell), he also had no experience in automotive industry. What he's really good at is marketing, hyping and generating sales. Somehow along the way, drama ensued and the battery design guys got voted off the island. Regardless of what the reason is, now everyone associates Tesla with Elon, calls him a genius for 'inventing' Tesla and Elon never once corrects them or give credit to Martin and Marc in any public engagements. Whatever the problem was, there was definitely a better way than going behind Martin's back and influencing the board members to fire him. With the lawsuit settled, we will never know exactly what happen; was it 100% betrayal or a tough decision to save the company or maybe a bit of both. For me, the moment Elon let the world believe he was the engineer who draw the first drawing of Tesla, is the moment I truly dislike him. Now he is not only taking credits from others, but he is fully manipulating the market and profiting from it. As Martin said "His Elon-ness has increased over the years". And his cult-like fanbase only adds fuel to the flame. There is no such thing as one true genius. Even Tesla was a collaborative effort from hundreds of people. Martin and Marc also only build the battery technology. Other parts of the car (transmission, electronics, software etc.) comes from other engineers with years of experience in their respective field.

For me, those guys did start Tesla company with good idea but their outcome is not at prototype level, just a concept with some testing. It's far far from manufacturing. There is no plan to start manufacturing at all. Elon's money and effort may contribute more than what those guys did for the 1st prototype. That's why he can be a Co-founder in media. If those guys were excellent and able to make Tesla big, why didn't they start another one or contribute to a Tesla competitor like Lucid Air with old Tesla staffs. I bet they couldn't.

For the last weeks I have been invested in Tesla's story, SpaceX and found it puzzling that there is this dark or at least partly dirty aspect to Musk. But I couldn't quite follow his harsh critics who deem him stupid for technical absurditieslike hyperloop, for example. Now, finally, what Tarpenning says from 22:54 onwards finally connects the puzzle pieces for me. Thank you for providing this highly insightful piece of interview!

@@armanithompson1029 No. One interview that I watched E Musk said " he did not name the company Tesla" The name of the company was already Tesla and he just kept it. This guy was saying He wanted an electric sports car for himself. Elan Musk wants a fully automatic self driving car with all the technology and also linked to all the other companies he was planing on building (solar eneryg, battery, so on so forth. Obiously, they put some time and effort trying to figure out a way to build a sport electrci car, but Elan Musk wants everybody to drive an electrci car not small group of people. The vision is completely different.

@@niveax6112 ....He literally mentioned the climate Crisis and oil fueled wars as reasons he wanted to make electric cars those are big problems = and need big solutions. wide adaption is a necessity to even think about beginning to affect those problems. so I would disagree that he only wanted a small group of people to drive his cars.... That doesn’t make sense does it? I think he mentioned his own desire to drive an electric car to demonstrate his ethics on the issue.

​@@Stone815 Elon is only a cofounder because of a lawsuit settlement between Eberhard and Tesla(officially there are 5 cofounders). Elon made his investment a year after the company was founded, becoming majority shareholder. Similarly, Markkula made his investment to Apple a year after it was founded. No lawsuit settlement, no cofounder title. To spell it out, my issue with the original comment is the assumption that Elon's contribution to Tesla was equivalent to that of Steve Jobs to Apple, when in fact it was more like Markkula. 😘

@@stanleytweedle467 when Elon joined they had no employees no product. Even the name Tesla couldn't be registered because the name belonged to someone else. Elon helped them aquire the name. There's a reason why the lawsuit went through. There's enough compelling evidence that Tesla was merely a thought on paper when Elon joined.
@stanleytweedle467
@stanleytweedle467 Рік тому
​@@Stone815 I consider those things very banal. Many startups are just ideas on paper until their first investor(Apple, Google, UKposts, etc). Any monkey with money can buy the rights to a name. Musk told that story to make his early contribution seem greater than they are. Lawsuit was settled out of court 1. because the judge denied Tesla's request to dismiss Eberhard's case, and 2. because it's cheaper just to pay Eberhard. No judgment, no mentioning of evidence. I think Tesla is no Tesla without Musk, but majority of Musk's contribution to Tesla was after he became CEO and actually ran it. Founder or not, you have to admit that Musk is a savvy businessman and strategist, and it's in his business interest to exaggerate his involvement in the origin of Tesla and to establish his self-made myth. I think he's very much like Trump in those regard.
