I know bashing Musk is all in vogue and a pastime here on HN, but at least check the facts. Pixar was spun off from Lucasfilm in 1986 when it had been in existence for several years, with many employees. It was an established company changing the ownership. Musk joined Tesla only a few months after it was founded, before it sold any car. Claiming the founder title when it barely existed is certainly not outrageous.
