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.
