I think there's significant distinctions between them though. Those founders usually prioritize success of their business so they will accept corrections if it turns out to be a significant risk to the business. IMO, Elon's narcissism blocks him from taking any kind of such "corrections" because his priority is on building his own narrative of being a genius entrepreneur and engineer. (This explains that "code review" farce pretty well...) If he corrects his path, then it will be publicly portrayed as his defeat so he just can't. This worked pretty well for him until now since he was able to equate Tesla/SpaceX as himself in public perception. If he can build the genius narrative, then it will be a significant advantage for those businesses as well unless there are undeniable public failures. He is a competent businessmen so he managed most of the smaller gradual risks pretty well. But something big like Twitter is probably out of his ability, or not. We'll see.
