Yeah, if he spent the money on laying fibre instead of using satilites that need to be replaced every at most 18 months and as little as 2 months, everyone would have been better off.
It wasn’t a condition of his initial investment, but rather of a lawsuit settlement five years later, in 2009 (six years after Eberhard and Tarpenning actually founded it).
And this isn’t even right, 2 people founded Tesla the other 3 are investors…
Careful, Musk might send the internet goon squad after you for saying that. He gets very upset if you call him an investor in Tesla.
Starlink is trash too, come at me Elon

Yeah, but he only has the one digger, so the fiber would all end up in hyperloop-sized tunnels, it’d be like the Underminer from the Incredibles.
Excuse me, but one of the conditions of Elon’s investment was that they pretend he was a founder and refer to him as such!
