If you think anything Elon doing is groundbreaking, you have no idea how the world works. Recent Space X ipo showed that the launches aren't cheaper, they are just heavily subsidized. Tesla was a piece of crap until they got their model 3, the only reason Tesla succeeded with their S model is because Elon was the edgy hype dude who managed to generate enough hype to carry them through the bullshit with the car. Self driving was supposed to be solved last year, and tiny companies like Comma AI manage to build self driving systems that are in someways better than Teslas.
I bet you think Steve Jobs was a visionary as well lol.
If not for SpaceX there wouldn't be gigabit internet connectivity in the middle of the ocean.
You're entitled to your own opinion to hate the guy but some self reflection goes a long way.
Most manufacturers already were working on hybrids, which to this day are still suprerior to EVs. Chevy Volt, outside of being Chevy, was still one of the best cars ever made for utilitarian purpose. Nobody wanted to foot the bill to do electric conversions until this was necessary.
Tesla only opened up a market segment for high end electric cars, which I guess is cool, but far from revolutionary. The model 3 was a big success only because again, it was subsidized. Meanwhile BYD actually makes cheap affordable electric cars, and we both know why they are not sold in US.

Plenty of companies were doing geostationary orbits with satellite connectivity. SES for one.
Any more Elon slop? You realize you are defending a dude that is literally a Nazi, right?
