If the founder/Investors of Northvolt had to choose, I'm pretty sure they would prefer their names in the title. Guess their names are just not famous enough, so better attribute to it to Sweden. More people probably knows who Elon Musk is than what Sweden is anyways :)

I moved from California to Switzerland for a couple of years, and more than one person asked if I was going to learn Swedish. It’s kind of sad really.

Musk is like a weird combination of Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump.

He tweets like Trump, but when he gets on stage he stutters and speak as badly as Michael Bloomberg.

Regardless of what one thinks of Trump people knew him for more than being just a rich guy, he was the CEO of the Apprentice and Yankees #1 fan for a long time.

He also speaks with the utmost confidence, this is a great social skill and you can use it at will if you don't need the academics and the high IQ people on your side...in politics it's one person, one vote
