If you are aware of that, then I'm not sure why you would include Tesla in the list of companies, as I don't see how that point would apply there. For SpaceX I'd agree, and with PayPal I don't know enough about it's history.

I don't see a significant difference between founding a company from scratch and buying a fledgling tiny company with a cool name that has accomplished very little, when the significance is the 99% of what happened afterward.

And neither does anyone else, really, which is why the detail is mostly ignored in common discussion.
