At least Henry Ford did really craft the modern way of building a car. Luckily his antisemitism did not influence America which was already somewhat antisemitic.

Another difference is that Ford had deeply held (albeit bigoted) beliefs. Musk just gets off on being a troll, breaking things, being 'edgy', wielding influence for its own sake, and indulging in casual cruelty (his reckless promoting of conspiracy theory concerning the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband is a good example of the latter). When certain people have everything, they fill their lack of purpose with finding destructive ways to fill the holes in their souls.
