How is he using his money to better the world? He lost a good chunk of it trying to pump and dump twitter.

SpaceX is paying him, not the other way around. He's an investor, nothing more.

Investors don't sleep in the factory trying to fix/improve production issues, Investors can't deep dive into how their rocket engines work and make engineering changes mid interview because they just realised a more beneficial way of doing something.

He is the richest person in the world. I don't think that hurt him. But even buying twitter to allow it to be more of a free speech platform is better than it was.

Spacex has done more for the space industry than the last 40 years prior.

Tesla started the electric car revolution. Now every company is doing it.

Oh yeah lets not forget about global internet access with Starlink, only available because of SpaceX's ability to launch multiple times a month.

We can keep going but it's clear there is no use.
