>>1800653Then there's starlink which is already serving thousands of rural customers and changing where people are required to live, it is also being utilized by multiple airlines changing how inflight service is provided and it is being used tohelp both the Ukrainian military and civilians while in an active warzone. On top of all that SpaceX has the starship program which has already been chosen as the HLS for NASA. That has entirely changed the scope, timeline and goals of the Artemis program. It has also lit a fire under the ass of the SLS team and has forced the government to take the program seriously. So even if Elon stopped right now he would have revolutionized 3 industries, kickstarted the defunct space program, and impacted the lives of millions. But he is not done, his mars colony plan is well underway and with it so many other space based capabilities/the course of humanity, FSD is going to change automation in so many aspects of our lives not just cars, starlink is going to connect most of the world while changing the rural/city dynamic, his purchase of twitter may keep us from tyranny and the boring company and neuralink may change the average person's QoL as well. He is Christopher Columbus mixed with a Rockefeller/Carnegie industrial titan, he is a brilliant engineer like Brunel and he is impacting the future socially. I would argue noone is comparable to him
