After yesterday's release of The Shooter, Esquire's 15,000 word piece by Phil Bronstein on the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden and his difficult transition back to civilian life, much attention is being correctly focused on the surprising straits that even the most highly-trained and elite soldiers face after often harrowing service to the United States.
Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding. Both men played active roles in the company's early development prior to Elon Musk's involvement. Musk led the Series A round of investment in February 2004, joining Tesla's board of directors as its chairman.
Musk's entrepreneurial activity doesn't stop there. Elon Musk also co-founded Tesla Motors, which is a company that designs, manufactures and sells electric cars and electric vehicle powertrain components.. Musk, who is Chairman, CEO and Product Architect, currently owns 35,001,294 shares of the company.
