That just is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. When Musk took over Tesla, it was a very small startup with 6 employees or so. All the subsequent growth into the behemoth that it is today has happened under his management.
If someone adopted a newborn and raised him to adulthood, would you dismiss them as not-a-real-parent of that kid?
Musk's role in Tesla is similar to Ray Kroc's in McDonald's. Not a founder either, but the person that took over a totally irrelevant small business and developed it into a world class superpower in its field.
To be dismissive of such an accomplishment is unwise at best.
