No, I didn’t say Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS, you are being pedantic because you know the bigger picture contradicts your narrative.
I’ve given you enough elements, you’re free to keep thinking Tesla didn’t massively contribute to the energy transition if you want.
But not Elon specifically.
He founded spaceX but the success is down to the rocket scientists.
Agreed. Spotting talent and being lucky (risk taking + positive outcomes) are his defining qualities.
Not leadership. Not personally flying or building rockets. Not caring about energy transition. You don’t solve climate change by going to Mars.
The success is down to the team, not the rocket scientist alone. Guess who gathered, motivated and paid the team?
One doesn’t create several companies that are leader in the energy transition if they do not care about energy transition.
I understand all the hate Elon Musk is getting currently but pretending he did not lead several companies to great success is just bizarre.
A minute ago you were saying that Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS. Now it’s all about the team.
Not arguing about this part.
One doesn’t try to get to Mars if one cares about Earth. Tesla is not environmentally optimised. Green Elon was just marketing.

Lead is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Funded is a better verb. No other CEO has time to lead and tweet 70x a day.

You: Are you bringing back stranded astronauts from the ISS?
Me: Is Elon?
You: Yes
Elon is through is company.
If I own apple shares, am I producing Iphones. No.
Elon is at the White House destoying the government apparatus and tweeting about it. He has absolutely no involvement in rescuing astronauts.
If you’re the CEO of Apple you make a decision or two about iPhone production.
The CEO does not build the iphones.
Elon did not rescue the astronauts.
