His employees built reusable rockets. His employees were not even the first to create electric cars, and he's not even the founder of Tesla. He did NOT restore free speech anywhere. People that were hating on him still got banned iirc (I might be wrong). All he did was create a payment service with his friend (PayPal), used the money to buy an electric car company (Tesla), hired people to build satellites and rockets for him (SpaceX), and decided to buy a dying social media company to revive it (Twitter), failing miserably in the process.
