Regardless of him being a founder or a usurper, I don't think Tesla or SpaceX would have been the businesses they became without Musk. He was the primary driving force behind the initiatives that led to their current day success.
It reminds me of the "but you didn't" argument, said in response to someone looking at a painting or piece of art and saying "I could have done that". Maybe many people could have done for Tesla what Musk has done, but they didn't.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” (1910)
