Was coming here to say the same thing, he loves it way too much that it’s the myth people stuck to. Musks company was folded into the company that eventually became paypal, but had nothing to do with virtual banks.
Plus none of this mentions he already had a fortune before starting any of it.
Musk bought himself into Confinity(Peter Thiel and others company), made himself CEO and started making insane demands to the point where Peter Thiel quit and the board forced Musk out as CEO and replaced him with Thiel. (Musk wanted Thiel to rewrite his entire program from unix to windows, and the board knew that without him PayPal would never get off the ground.)
He did the same thing with Tesla(and other companies), bought his way into CEO and started making demands. But at that time he had a PA that kept his insane demands away from the crucial engineers and people working on important tasks. It’s the same PA that stopped working for him a few months before his public reputation went to shit.

Even that’s genereous wording.

Actually, the company that later became PayPal was founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek.
