At his level who has had consistently more or the same level of success doing something similar to him? I don’t understand all the Elon hate lately outside of people being bias for the sake of the narrative.

I don't equate entrepreneurial success with knowing what you're talking about. Even Elon's entrepreneurial success is debatable with there being many stories of SpaceX and Tesla being successful despite Musk.
His level of what?

Wealth? There's like 0-3 others. So what? Lottery winners show no more skill than anyone else.

Visibility? Well, you've got Zuck (no what's-her-face in hiding from Meta anymore), not Jack Dorsey anymore, no Sergey or Larry or Bill or Steve... I can't think of anyone outside of tech. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, they're more visible and seem to have a hard time keeping things together, especially since end of Bush, but they didn't fire half their workforce and make their operations break down frequently. I give Clinton and Obama decent marks for leaving the economy in a good shape for their successors to screw up. Jimmy Carter had great success in his endeavors.

Eptitude? I think the ept have avoided getting snared in awful deals like Elon stuck his finger into.

I think we're at the bottom of the second inning of this game of Twitter-ball. Let's see how it goes from here now that the team is down to a bare roster.

Probably plenty, they're just not famous.
