They weren't founded in 2010, but in 2000.

I was a bit confused for a moment, because I distinctly remember using either IntelliJ or RubyMine in 2008.

I had no idea they were a Czech company with Russian founders though. Good to hear not everything comes from SV.

Ooops, fixed, thanks.

As I understood it Tesla was founded by Americans and later Musk bought in.

> Tesla was founded (as Tesla Motors) on July 1, 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California ... A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and Straubel) to call themselves co-founders

Well, SpaceX isn't exactly considered "Africa's Space Programme" either. (But Jetbrains is surely far more Russian than SpaceX is South African)

>"...Tesla is an American company (rather than South African)"

Difference being that Tesla does not keep their core team in South Africa.
