Starting something is just a start. Elon put nearly every dollar he got from Paypal (which he also didn't build entirely independently) into SpaceX and Tesla. He saw technology had made certain engineering problems solvable or nearly solvable in a profitable way. What was OG Tesla going to do, sell Roadsters forever? Musk saw that it was a good start, and then filled in the rest of the plan and gave it the cash it needed to take off.
