It’s the low-key case that Elon will be remembered poorly (like Robert Moses’ rapidly degrading legacy) for

1) Having the wrong vision for EVs (but successfully executing non it anyway)

Plus messing up astronomy and maybe helping bring about Kessler syndrome. Good point about overhead electrical.
