Elon Musk appears to be a counter-example...

  Over promising is better when you’re interested in money/power and have plenty of your own to start with, rather than any underlying pointless nonsense like working toward an achievable goal or trying to be a decent human.

    We now know based on his numerous biographies and documentaries made about him that he overpromised because else his companies would not get the badly needed funds/support/customers. Is this fraud? Probably but he got away with it because he delivered enough tangible results to get people to back off. Otherwise he'd probably be in jail now. Why does he still overpromise when he does not need to? Well the latest biography sorta explained it: He can't help himself, he needs the thrill of an ever more difficult problem to solve. (ie. he's psycho)

  Musk has lost a massive amount of credibility because of failing to deliver on most of the self-proclaimed potential of his businesses—basically, all of them outside of the potential of SpaceX, and even there he should be grateful the perceived value of the company isn't tied to going to mars.
