You'll notice OP wasn't comparing billionaires, they were comparing automotive CEOs. So that's a scarecrow argument. All of the other automotive CEOs have an order of magnitude less wealth than Musk.

He has the wealth of a nation state and owns one of the world's largest social media sites, a rocket company, a car company, and actively promotes far-right hate speech and meddles in international politics.

At least he isn't giving out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The automotive CEO most similar to Musk is probably Henry Ford, and I'm honestly not sure which one is worse.

At least he isn’t giving out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Considering his feelings about Jews, it's only a matter of time.
