The difference is precisely that Kroc is the founder of the company that is McDonalds while Musk is not the founder of Tesla.

It’s a fact that Musk turned Tesla into what it is today. It’s possible to get that point across without falsely claiming you’re the founder of the company. Words have meanings.
