Would you say that Musk is one of the most significant AI pioneers in history? I don't personally believe that founding the organization is more meaningful than doing the actual work.

The difference is that Andrej is an actual AI engineer who remained involved in the company. Musk was just an early co-founder who eventually left and had no involvement on the breakthroughs of the company.
But is this meaningful enough to call him one the greatest pioneers? Up thread the argument was that he was a co-founder. Now it includes unspecified technical contributions? I don't even think that Andrej produced the most impactful AI research among grad students at Stanford when he was there.
