It also suggests that Elon Musk is somehow obligated to spend his money for these other things, in a way that isn't necessarily how he sees these issues getting solved or at least dealt with. Instead of electric smart cars, electrical battery farms, solar roof tiles, communications in space, getting to space, etc, he should drop it all to spend it on this one specific thing someone completely unconnected to him or his plans decided he needs to spend it on. The world's problems don't have a singular solution. There are many things that need to be done.
