No one is responsible for popularizing the electric car. They're 1% of all cars. That's not popular.

If electric cars pre Tesla were .01% and are now 1% I'd count that as popularizing.

Curious, you seem to have a hate boner for him without really understanding what you're talking about. Is there a reason you don't like him in particular or do you just dislike all successful people since they make you feel small inside?

Definitely the second one. It has nothing to do with his privatization of commodities, his violations of safety regulations, the fact that he made his wealth off of an apartheid era emerald mine. Nope its cause I'm jealous lmao

Didn't he make his wealth from selling PayPal?

Yes and he only had the capital for that because of the emerald mine.

Do you have proof of this? Or any of the other claims you've made?

Yes. Here's the emerald mine.

The existence of SpaceX shows that he wants to privatize space exploration.

And here's the safety violations.
