Beyond these moonshot initiatives, Musk has delivered real results. After Hurricane Maria knocked out power for millions of Puerto Rico's residents in 2017, Musk donated hundreds of solar-powered batteries to the island. And as the coronavirus began spreading worldwide, Tesla began working on ventilator parts and shipping medical devices to hospitals in need.

Now, he's challenging the UN's plea for $6 billion to help millions at risk of dying due to starvation — but said he may cash out Tesla shares to help” insider report.

Musk is one of the actual smallest philanthropists amongst his peers. While claiming to be one his actual personal contributions are actually very small unlike say bill gates.

Well it didn’t go too well according to the Huff Post

Workers from Tesla, billionaire Elon Musk’s electric car and solar energy giant, arrived on Vieques just weeks after hurricanes Irma and María crippled the aging electrical grid and severed the transmission cable that connected this island to the Puerto Rico mainland seven miles west. The company selected the senior center as one of 11 sites on the darkened island that it would equip with power-producing panels and batteries.
Constructing the system was simple. But when workers attached the panels and batteries to the old electrical wiring in the former schoolhouse, the batteries blew out.

Tesla had a long period of “ learning “ to build a EV , including many false starts and issues with the roadster , little in the engineering was “ revolutionary” most of it was normal engineering “ evolutionary “ processes. In fact they made some terrible choices and false starts. Porsche’s EV engineering is demonstrably better as you’d expect from a company with such engineering pedigree.

Musk slept in the plant largely because well he’s “ weird “. Anecdotal employee tales often suggest he hinders progress by these weird actions.

I’m not taking away his achievements but he’s merely a money man with ideas. His engineers are clever indeed , but he’s not the revolutionary engineer that’s for sure.
