Unbeknownst to much of the public, Elon Musk did not actually start Tesla. Indeed, Musk was actually the company’s 4th CEO when he initially joined the company way back in 2008. While Musk can be credited with substantially transforming the firm and its offerings, its original co-founders, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, launched Tesla in 2003.
