Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

I don't have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed...

I think it would be fine if someone said that and started something.

Elon only started space x though. He's just been a winey bitch with cash in every other scenario

At first I read "quiet Greek engineer" and I was like, damn they Greeks now to do engineering. Then I thought Linus couldn't look less Greek.
