Your opinion on Elon is of little concern to me. I was addressing facts alone.
Buy a quick googling, the lawsuit you are referencing is from the late 2010s around the time Eberhard was pushed out of the company. And thus I stand by my earlier statements about the company's history. As I said, there was no love lost there.
But I am still trying to address your original position that Elon showed up after everything was done and took credit for it all, which I don't believe is accurate.
