Tesla has helped enter into public knowledge the reality that efficient, road-worthy electric cars are ready here and now, despite what the oil and automotive cartels will tell you. Existing on the outside of the cabal, they are forcing the hand of other big manufacturers to get in the game lest they lose future market share.
Space X is on its way to revolutionizing the way we make time-sensitive global and orbital deliveries, and overall the company's aspirations to start a Mars colony are incredible given that no one else is trying, not even our governments.
Hyperloop + The Boring Company is an attempt to revolutionize public transportation and eradicate the limiting factor of distance in things like our careers, hobbies, and relationships. It also aims to reduce global emissions by a less-than-trivial amount.
Your argument is that, because Musk doesn't have a hulking list of massive once-in-a-lifetime achievements (who wants to read a giant list of micro-achievements?), that he has not accomplished anything.
He is attacking industries that largely don't exist, and you are criticizing him for not already being finished with his life's work.
Don't you understand that these things take time? That his companies are still largely in the "Research" part of "Research & Development?"
What are you doing with your own life that allows you to criticize the actions of one massively motivated individual?
Think of all of the great visionaries and leaders of the past-- Don't you think that, until they completed their life's work, they were also ridiculed and criticized?
Consider building up and supporting others instead of reflexively attempting to tear them down. Don't be a naysayer.
