Example:
Investing in Tesla, and then pushing out its engineers and original founders, and then calling himself "product architect" is a con.
He knows nothing about architecting an automobile or the engineering of it.
There are many like that.
Here is an article from 2009.
His entire career is based on stealing other's ideas and passing it off as his own.
That is a con.
Electric-car startup’s main backer and its former CEO have ended a squabble over words.

At issue: Whether Martin Eberhard, the company's first CEO, or Elon Musk, its current one, got to call himself "founder." Eberhard filed suit against Musk three months ago, alleging libel and slander because Musk, an early investor in Tesla, had started calling himself the company's founder.
In fact, Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning are the company's actual founders.
It's not the first time Musk has fussed about being called "founder." He started a company, X.com, which merged with another startup, Confinity. Confinity's main product was PayPal, and that became the name of the new company. In leaving PayPal, Musk went to great lengths to make sure he'd be referred to as "founder."
