Musk often puts his foot in his mouth, and says stuff that gets him in trouble... However he does have a really good track record on getting things done.
Tesla, Space X and Boring Company really all were big pipe dream companies where attempts in the past created vaporware or got out maneuvered by the more traditional company.
Musk for the most part seems to help drive these companies to actual tangible products that have been and are being used.
Apple did alright with Jobs, who wasn't much into technical things.
While Wozniak was the technical brains in the early Apple, Jobs did have the ability to understand it. He then could choose and push development between competing concepts. He also could recognize fashion trends and push the technical people into developing for them. Choosing the right designers for the appearance of the finished product and names for them have really helped push Apple to where it is and that is all Jobs for bringing those ideas in.

He was also a nasty bastard, lest we forget.
