I dislike the guy as much as the next internet lefty, but many people have rich parents, and not many of them end up spending that money in things that may end up with something of public interest, so there's that to at least consider.
I think making electric cars a "cool" status symbol was a net positive for example (too bad supporting crypto kind of cancels that effort out), whatever he's doing with SpaceX not as pragmtic, but still interesting and potentially positive.
And Starlink also seems like a potentially good idea, though i'm worried about atmosphere pollution.
The tunnel thing i don't get.
It's annoying that he gets hailed as some kind of humanity's savior, but that's another story.
For example someone like Carmack is also obviously a cunt bordering on sociopath, but they've done some cool tech shit.
