True but thats for you and me but for people who are ignorant and don’t care about their personal data, for them , its a car from heaven that Jesus itself drives
Not everything has to have immediate effect to be good in the long run.
You can argue all day about Tesla and it’s controversies, but Tesla basically spearheaded the movement of EVs. They showed the rest of the world how to build proper EVs and charging infrastructure when the traditional car makers were still refusing to move forward. And now western car makers are basically sitting ducks when Chinese EV makers are on the rise to take over the market. Stuff does not have to be perfect right now because tech can improve, and the know-how people built up now can still be used in generations after.
SpaceX also did not “just launch some spacecraft”. They also spearheaded the way for reusable rockets, something that satellites rely on. You cannot deny that their Starlink system helped immensely in places without access to good internet, not only in warzones, but also in rural places where updating internet infrastructure is deemed a waste of money to corpos.
Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn’t be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.
Wrong
Care to explain ? Everyone knows hes not the founder but without elon Tesla won’t be what its today.
what is it today? a bunch of garbage cars that record you and send the recordings to tesla employees to laugh at and get you in an accident when you use their bullshit autopilot?

Now name everything bad Elon did!
You asked to name a billionaire that has done anything good. That is not a good thing in your view then?
I’ll give him Space X pushed us forward but Tesla existed without him. His contributions there may have happened anyways.
