That's a risky game. It makes the company culture less enjoyable. That makes hiring harder and can motivate people to quit. Musk can afford this because of the strength of the vision of his company, that makes people to work there but it's still not clear that it's optimal.
But it is clear that Musk isn't the only highly successful entrepreneur that used this strategy successfully Jobs was the same way.
The problem is that both Musk and Jobs likely act in a way that can't be summarized in a paragraph.
If someone tries to copy them based on the idea that his time is more important than the feeling of his employees the person is likely to mess things up.
