Dude, business ain't politics.
You have to be the person signing off the quality of life if you want people to shake your hand and pat your shoulder.
Musk is signing off quality of life for essentially nobody (1% of total vehicles sold globally in FY21) and those who are on the receiving end, they already have plenty of quality of life given that Teslas are basically luxury vehicles.
Real quality of life for everybody is Microsoft being used everywhere ranging from Bel Air to subsaharan Africa, same for Google, Facebook, Amazon. Even financial companies, you can find an HSBC or a Barclays branch in Lagos or Accra or Abuja, just as you can find them in NYC or LA for God's sake.
Another type of quality of life is Pfizer/Moderna 4$ vaccine injected in the arms of everybody in the developed world within 24 months from the emergence of a new virus, and AstraZeneca 0.10$ vaccine taking care of the developing world and especially India when they were burning bodies in the streets.
> You seem to be very badly informed.
You seem very insulated in your bubble of wealth and internet echo-chambers. Numbers don't lie. Musk companies are defacto non-existent in the real world. They provide quality of life to essentially nobody, and in fact you basiclly don't see them anywhere outside of places where huge amount of wealth is concentrated.
Narrative and headlines is the only metric in which such companies dominate.
