Henry Ford built and raced his own car before founding Ford Motor
Company and made innovations in the use of an assembly line for his
cars. Musk is just a front man for a company he bought controlling
interest in. I only know of one decision he made about the design of
Tesla; namely that it be a high-performance luxury car. That was a good
idea from a marketing perspective. Attempts to sell EV's as econo-cars
were doomed to failure because they were necessarily much more expensive
than second hand ICE econoboxes and only people who could afford another
ICE could use an EV.

Brent; are you disputing my characterization of Musk as chief

though, like Musk, he was CEO and financing the innovations in the
production processes? AG

That would be like Henry Ford calling himself "Chief Engineer".
