Yes, you do need something more powerful than Elon Musk: you need the power of collective action! Without workers, the value of Tesla is comparatively nothing to what it is valued at now. Without workers, Elon Musk goes from the richest man in the world, to just a guy who owns some empty buildings and machines that don't do anything. Elon's true power is his workforce, not his money.
It's true that democracies are hard to set up and maintain. We are learning that here in America right now. It seems like authoritarianism is the natural order of governments, so maybe left/authoritarianism is like a local minima: it's easy to fall into that well, hard to get out of it, but there are much better things out there if you can avoid it.
