...especially by making a piece of crap designed by billionaires and millionaires for billionaires and millionaires.
He is, um, not making cars for millions of people. He's to make a car for the upper middle class, and frankly, failing at it.

He hoped and even announced that he planned to make 500,000, um, cars, but can't make 1000 per month.
There are, from my perspective, billions of people on this planet who lack access to even the most rudimentary sanitary systems.
WHO Fact Sheet, Sanitation
Do we talk about these people? Um, no, we'd rather talk about Elon Musk, asshole.
The car is, um, an obscenity, a kind of drug that lulls people into not understanding shit, caring about shit, or seeing shit for what it is.
If you understand environmental issues - particularly if one's understanding derives not from the pop press but from the primary scientific literature - you can easily discern that this crap is no where near sustainable and never will be sustainable.
China, if you must know, has 100 million electric vehicles, mostly scooters. It also has the worst air pollution in the world.
The facts behind this situation were evaluated a few years back in the primary scientific literature:
Electric Vehicles in China: Emissions and Health Impacts (Cherry et al, Environ. Sci. Technol., 2012, 46 (4), pp 2018–2024)
The problem is that most Americans believe that the source of electricity is a wall socket. And while they're pretending that, they like to draw cute pictures of wind turbines and solar cells, even though almost all the electricity on this planet comes from burning coal and natural gas in, again, an obscene orgy that represents a crime against all future generations.
The wind and solar industry did not work; they are not working; and they will not work, and neither has, is, or will the electric car fantasy.
The electric car will save us mentality that permeates the pop culture is garbage, again, oblivious consumer bourgeois denial, obfuscation and marketing hype. I wouldn't be caught dead driving a Tesla.
Have a nice Sunday.
