Ed,
Yes, so Musk certainly wasn't "the" founder.

From wikipedia article on the founding of Tesla: "A
lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September
2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and
Straubel) to call themselves co-founders."

Firing the company founder doesn't always work.?
After Apple's board fired Steve Jobs, the company
went to ruin under his successor, and after Jobs
returned, Apple became the world's most valuable
company.
?
Without Musk, there would be no Tesla, a company
worth $567 billion.? Giving 10% of that to the guy who
made it all happen doesn't seem so bad. I don't know
what his 140,000 employees and their families think of
it; some of them might believe that they'd be just as
well off working elsewhere, but others might be grateful
for their jobs.
