Elon Musk is probably one of the most cutthroat businessmen on the planet. His skills don't lie in technological implementation whatsoever.

Martin Eberhard was the technical co-founder of Tesla and Elon Musk is trying his best to erase his contributions to Tesla.

Eberhard and Tarpenning where the co-founders. Musk was an early investor, became the third CEO, and then sued to claim co-founder status.

Yeah there's an interesting interview with Eberhard https://youtu.be/88KHfX_kPIY?t=88

Eberhard wasn't that technical and was the CEO in the early years.

But that has nothing to do with the valley chips and computer nerdery
