Similar but not exactly the same. Elon had high-ranked characters on the leaderboard but his streams showed that he did not know how to play the game at that high level.
Someone who buys gold to pay for their raid consumes is still, presumably, actually able to play their character in the raid.
Yes, there are similarities - both are paying someone else to play the game for them. But one is just skipping the tedious farming so they can focus on playing the endgame. The other is skipping the whole game, including the part where you learn how to play, and then claiming credit for the leaderboard placement.
