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?
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
Who does this help, exactly? I mean directly?
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.
