Musa has been a manager and business owner since the 1980s. Along with these, he owns shares in a number of other businesses that are engaged in manufacturing, waste management, logistics, travel, marine vessel chartering, real estate, foodservice, education and training, engineering, procurement, onshore and offshore construction and commissioning (EPCC), IT solutions, and operation and maintenance. Along with two other people, Ahmad Morshidi and his cousin Ahmad Isa, he founded AEGIS Secure Solutions.{{Cite web |date=2018-09-01 |title=AEGIS Celebrates 20 Years Anniversary |url=https://aegis.com.bn/sec-solutions-sdn/ss-news/aegis-celebrates-20-years-anniversary/ |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=aegis.com.bn |language=en}}

His father started carefully buying assets from foreign businesses who choose to leave the Sultanate as soon as Brunei gained independence in 1984.{{Cite book |last1=Park |first1=Seung Ho |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6u6SDQAAQBAJ&dq=Musa+Adnin&pg=PA165 |title=ASEAN Champions |last2=Ungson |first2=Gerardo Rivera |last3=Francisco |first3=Jamil Paolo S. |date=2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-107-12900-9 |pages=165 |language=en}} These assets were mostly in the hardware and petroleum services industries. Soon after Musa's graduation, he and his father jumped at the chance to take part in an initiative launched by the Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) and the Bruneian government to support regional companies. Due to Musa's perseverance and his father's negligence, the AG grew to include about 20 businesses that specialise in IT, tourism, advertisements, paint products and interior design.{{Cite book |last1=Park |first1=Seung Ho |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6u6SDQAAQBAJ&dq=Musa+Adnin&pg=PA165 |title=ASEAN Champions |last2=Ungson |first2=Gerardo Rivera |last3=Francisco |first3=Jamil Paolo S. |date=2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1-107-12900-9 |pages=165 |language=en}} Together, they absorbed a number of sister companies that strengthen AG. Adnin gave over his position as the group's managing director to his son in the middle of the 1990s, at which point he took on the chairmanship.

AG pledged to help the Bruneian government's efforts to stop the coronavirus from spreading throughout the nation by contributing B$200,000 to the COVID-19 Relief Fund, as given by its managing director Musa.{{Cite web |title=Donations continue to flow in for relief fund |url=https://takafulbrunei.com.bn/news/donations-continue-to-flow-in-for-relief-fund |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=takafulbrunei.com.bn |language=en-GB}}{{Cite web |last=Haji Abas |first=Nooratini |title=Sumbangan bantuan COVID-19 terus mencurah |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Lists/Berita%202008/NewDisplayForm.aspx?ID=26300&ContentTypeId=0x01000AD708F3C215FA4CB59342165B677943 |access-date=2024-04-20 |website=www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn}} In 2022, he stated that ASEAN need to enhance the lives of the rural population in ASEAN, safeguard the environment, and get ready for the digital future.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-21 |title=ASEAN-BAC Brunei's council members attend ABA, ABIS and Leaders Interface - The Bruneian |url=https://thebruneian.news/2022/11/21/asean-bac-bruneis-council-members-attend-aba-abis-and-leaders-interface/ |access-date=2024-04-20 |language=en-US}}
