Could be from The Fountainhead. As an article written by Ellsworth Toohey.

It’s also a game of mere words. The author claims that Tesla, the company, was about “disruption“. Then, he contrasts this to true innovation, which, according to the author, is collective in nature. This is already a questionable claim (Lilienthal was laughed at when he built his first flying machines). But it also completely misses the purpose of the founding of Tesla. Which is the acceleration of the advent of sustainable energy consumption and production. How much more focused on the good of humanity as a collective can you get? (Let’s not even talk about SpaceX.)

That the author lists Elon Musk in the same sentence as Elizabeth Holmes, and does so without any qualification, to me, is testament to the fact that the author isn’t really seeking to understand anything and is merely going for clicks. Which is a pity, because the question of vanishing trust in institutions would have been a worthwhile topic.
