That pretty much describes any major business that started as a single person on a mission to change the world. Ford, GM, GE, AT&T, Standard Oil, other large companies around the world, pretty much have their roots in one person that never took no for an answer and had an overwhelming need to dominate.

The only companies I can think of that had a different beginning are Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby.

That said, I'm pretty sure you are close to correct about Musk, although for the most part I like what his results are, and his public persona. If I liked their design language and their user agreements I might buy a Tesla. If I had a billion dollars, I also would book a flight on one of his rockets to the Moon.
