I think I have had more success with that, perhaps because I can relate that Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning are personal friends and former (pre-Tesla) coworkers. I visited Tesla Motors on April 2, 2004 when it consisted of a small office in Menlo Park and three employees, Martin, Marc and Ian Wright. That was just before the angel funding from Elon was arranged.
The distinction of founder was muddied by the settlement of the suit between Martin and Elon which called for them all (plus J.B.) to be designated as "co-founders".

I do make a point of correcting misconceptions over this issue when they come up in conversation (which can be maddeningly often). I agree that having some shared history with Martin and Marc (at least as former co-workers, it'd be presumptuous for me to claim them as friends) gives some extra weight.

Thx. On Tapatalk mobile I'm spared those stats. Besides we all had 1 post at one time. Speaking of, I'm going to try to look up what my 1st post was.
This nice piece on Elon was published on Cleantechnica.com today:

Was Elon Musk legal or illegal immigrant?
His younger brother said yes, they were illegal immigrants.
Elon himself corrected the phrase as "It was a gray area."

Kimbal: When they did fund us, they realized that we were illegal immigrants.
Elon: Well...
Kimbal: Yes we were!
Elon: It was a gray area.

Hmmm. Kanye's off the rails. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for him because I think it's looking less and less likely that he's simply an idiot and more likely that he's actually mentally ill.
I tend to agree with your assessment. My only point of disagreement with your statement is that you seem to be more understanding of mentally ill than of idiots. I'd like to think that both states are serious inflictions.

Well, the mentally ill can often be helped... but you can't fix stupid.
I wonder if the developer of this bit of software could make it user-configurable and allow you to also block Kanye...: KardBlock - Chrome Web Store
