It was a point you raised for some reason, and then couldn't quote a source for, and then turned back on me into some insult about how I didn't know how start ups worked?
Eh? It was a direct question to you that you're dodging re: the basis for your position. You're squirming now as you know your positon is just based on these two guys having formed the legal entity and that's it... otherwise, you'd have said so.
Kinda missing the point there, the Tesla tech was developed afterward, they were originally working with AC Propulsion tech, what ended up inside the prototype isn't relevant to that point.
Yes there was, Elon enquired about commercialising the tZero and was then informed about the other guys wanting to do the same:
Elon Musk said Tesla wouldn't exist without a little-known electric convertible called the tZero. Here's how the prototype car led to the formation of Tesla and paved the way for electric vehicles.
The tZero, made by a company called AC Propulsion, led directly to the formation of Tesla and its first car, the Roadster.

that they'd met before or that they wanted to have Elon's money or whatever else you're going to throw in is all tangential to that, they both wanted to develop a commercial EV after seeing AC Propulsion's tech and that's what put them together, they had the same goals.
So your position which you're shying away from re: the registered entity is completely moot, there was no product or IP at that stage, the five of them founded it together (well one of them dropped out very early on but he's still counted).
