I think the most important thing is that he's moving the goalpost and forcing the competition to innovate. Whether one believes Tesla will become profitable long term or not, that company has definitely accelerated the shift towards electric cars, which is a good thing for all of us. I feel like SpaceX is doing the same for the aeronautic industry. It would be amazing to see SpaceX send astronauts to Mars, but even if that doesn't happen, now other space launch companies are thinking about reusable launchers, bigger rockets, and finding creative ways to reduce costs.
