   GS>> IJ> No one has done more for the world than Elon.   
   GS>> What for example?   
   IJ> He co-founded PayPal   
   IJ> He founded SpaceX   
   IJ> He revolutionized the electric car industry   
   IJ> He created OpenAI   
   IJ> He co-founded Neuralink   
   IJ> He instituted the Big Falcon Rocket   
   IJ> His Crew Dragon spacecraft transported astronauts to the ISS   
   IJ> He provided internet to Ukraine during Russia's invasion   
      
   Founding a company isn't an achievement.   
   In Europe Paypal requires a having bank account (which comes with free wire   
   transfer service) and Paypal adds something like wire-transfert, but it   
   charges for this service. It might be more interesting in a country where   
   banks don't offer any service.   
   SpaceX did some nice fireworks, but apart from that? Wernherr von Braun was   
   the first person to ever launch a rocket in 1942, that's an achievement. NASA   
   brought men to the moon and back, that's an achievement.   
      
   How did he revolutionize the electric car industry? I'm pretty sure you mean   
   something that Terpenning or Eberhard came up with.   
      
   How exactly did "the world" benefit from OpenAI, Neuralink and what did the   
   Big Falcon Rocket have that Space Shuttle and Buran did not? Taking people to   
   a space station is something the Soviets already did in 1986.   
      
   I have too little knowledge about staellite Internet in Ukraine, but in   
   Germany you could get satellite Internet by SkyDSL in 1999.   
      
   IJ> He was named the world's richest person   
      
   So, something he has "done for the world" is taking money from others? I'd   
   call this a personal success, but not an achievement for the world.   
      
   I aussume the other achievements you didn't list included reeinventing the   
   subway with carriages that capacity of which is only five people.
