Calling Musk a founder would be the equivalent of calling Paul Graham an Airbnb cofounder.

Pitting wage earners against each other, while the real non contributors are the equity/real estate owners who feel entitled to a huge claim on the Silicon valley technology boom based on their equity purchase/inheritance date.
The primary anger in this piece is that wage earners were able to profit from the Silicon valley boom along with the equity owners. The rent is driven by market rates, not by having the "new renter pay for the old renters" as the article hilariously claims.
Don't be surprised if Hitler doesn't empathize with you either, you have only yourself to blame!
Please don't empathize with me, though. I don't need it :0
Awwww. Too bad for them.
Really? You can't even think of one single thing?
It is a well established principle of capitalism that owners are entitled to all of the profits from the real estate equity, even if the owners did not contribute to the silicon valley boom over the past 40 years, which was primarily boosted by the renters/engineers who moved into the city.
The injustice here is that the old time renters are partaking in the profits which they are not entitled to.
The Taylor series comes from Madhava around 13th century. This was rediscovered in the 1970s. There is no feasible mechanism for Greek influence here.

If you want to see something really egregious, check this out. A lower caste woman was raped and murdered by upper caste men. The really egregious part - the woman actually ended up dying one week later and her dying declaration identifying her 4 rapists and murderers was ruled inadmissible. After a nation wide outrage the rapists were arrested.

Once the news cycle calmed down, the following happened
1. The lower caste family of the victim could no longer find any work and feared stepping out of the house.
2. 3 of the rapists were set free based on a dubious report filed by the police which was hand in glove with the local upper caste leaders. The single convict was absolved of the murder charge because the woman did not die soon enough. https://www.thequint.com/news/india/hathras-rape-murder-vict...
3. A bunch of Muslim journalists were jailed for multiple years on sedition charges for trying to report on the incident, as per their job duties.

Another puke worthy case where BJP leaders took out processions in support of the rapists and murderers of an 8 year old girl. The reason for the support? the 8 year old victim was Muslim
