- The request is about listing companies founded by Elon Musk and identifying genius co-workers he mentioned, especially for Starlink, SpaceX, and Tesla.
- I'm considering how to tackle both parts: first, compiling a full list of Musk's companies, then finding mentions of key co-workers.
- I'm thinking about companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, but there might be more. Let's check for a complete list.
Searching for "companies founded by Elon Musk"

money.howstuffworks.com
www.tesla.com
- Just found interesting results from web search, including lists from Thomasnet and Wikipedia. Let's compile a list from these sources.
- From the search, Zip2 and X.com are listed as companies Musk founded, along with SpaceX in 2002 Thomasnet.
- Some sources suggest Musk co-founded Tesla due to his significant role, but technically, he joined in 2004 after it was started. I need to be careful with that.
- Tesla's website claims Musk co-founded it, but historical records show Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded it in 2003 Tesla. I'm weighing whether to include Tesla based on his significant involvement.
- Alright, based on the search, companies Musk founded include Zip2, X.com, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and xAI. Tesla's a tricky one, but I'll stick to historical accuracy and exclude it for now.
- I'm finding that Musk co-founded The Boring Company with Steve Davis in 2016, and xAI with a team of AI researchers in 2023 Wikipedia. This helps clarify his role in these ventures.
- Given the debate, I'm thinking of including Tesla as a company Musk is often credited with co-founding, despite joining later. It might align with how he's publicly viewed.
- I'm considering whether to list Tesla, given its public perception, but I'll prioritize historical accuracy for now. Let's focus on companies he founded from the start.
- There's some ambiguity, but I'll stick to companies where Musk was involved from the start, like Zip2 and SpaceX. This keeps things clear and accurate.
- Popular culture often includes Tesla in Musk's founded companies, so I'll add it to the list, noting he joined in 2004 but is considered a co-founder Investopedia. This aligns with how he's publicly viewed.
- Now, I'm moving on to find where Musk mentioned genius co-workers, especially for Starlink, SpaceX, and Tesla. Let's see if the search results have any mentions.
- I'm searching for key figures at SpaceX, like Gwynne Shotwell, who's the President and COO. She might be one Musk has praised.
