Tesla would have happened without Musk.
Imo the counterfactual argument is stronger the other way.
He was the hypeman who got people to continue sinking money into a loss making company. He's been the figurehead pumping the share price past the point of rationality which has enabled it to do what it's done.
I really can't see how the founders could have done that. And I can't see how Tesla could have dominated the market in the way they have without the hype.

He was NOT a founder.
Every major car company has electric now from Rolls Royce to Ferrari to Toyota.
