Elon Musk defended his role in Tesla's early history and took a dig at Martin Eberhard, one of the founders of the electric-car maker, on Sunday.."Eberhard was wealthy and could have risked his money, but was unwilling to do so."

The Tesla CEO made the comments in response to a thread on Twitter that said Musk"pushed out" Tesla founders Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, and"spent the next ten years telling everyone he founded Tesla."The richest man in the world elaborated, saying he received an honorary degree for his work on Tesla's first car, the original Roadster, and credited himself with getting"Tesla Motors" trademarked, as well as the Tesla.com URL.

Elon Musk didn’t risk his money either. He receives government subsidies.
