They surely had some cash, but I think it was a small contribution compared to Musk's. Given that Musk was $6.5M out of $7.5M series A, and something like $9-10M out of $13M series B, I think it's not possible they contributed more than Musk, unless they put big money into it right at the start (unlikely). I count find any concrete information about how much money the two actual founders contributed (which I consider as evidence that it wasn't much). Do you have some sources on how much they invested?


I'm not saying they put in more cash. I'm saying they had more cash but left it in the bank rather than investing


Ah, okay. So it was 3 guys that didn't want to put much of their money into Tesla, and Musk who did.


Yup.

That's the skin in the game that matters.

Even more than giving up productive effort elsewhere
