    Ok but the Wikipedia for Tesla’s history says that musk specifically did not take a role in company operations, he was just hypercritical of design.

    So technically he shouldn’t be a co founder, he didn’t fill that role.

      No, technically, he shouldn’t be listed as COO, which he is not.

      I’d recommend looking into the responsibilities of various senior leadership (SVP to C-suite). A CEO, for instance, is largely responsible for fundraising, strategic acquisition planning, and board/investor relations instead of operations (which is a COO’s position).
