Original Note:
Elon Musk did not have a role in naming the company "Tesla". "Tesla Motors, Inc." was incorporated on 1 July 2003. While Elon Musk has been legally allowed to call himself "co-founder", he didn't join the company until February 2004 as an early investor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc.#Founding_(2003–2004)
