and the SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive over the years: And looking back at these, I rediscovered a wonderful time capsule in the San Jose Mercury News:

"The idea for SolarCity came to Lyndon Rive on a trip with cousin Elon Musk to Burning Man

In ’99, we got our first funding from DFJ. Steve Jurvetson led that round. At 20 years old, I got my first $2 million check. I went, "Wow. OK."

Q: Is there competition between you, your brothers, your cousins?
A: Business competition? No. There is no competition. Elon trumps all." =)
