To my mind, that's evidence of China's long and effective history of copying innovation and scaling it up. That process is agnostic as to the source of the invention. If someone else had popularized electric cars, China would still be the dominant maker.
In other words, a person with Elon's demonstrated values isn't a requirement for inventing something important for society. I would argue that it holds back the actual potential of world-changing intentions if your personal values are about escaping this world because you have the money to do so, in your unrealistic sci-fi fantasy book world.
In the real world, not even a single person lives on the moon/Mars nor would benefit in any way from doing so, though their existence would be at great expense -- paid to Elon by taxpayers. So, no thanks.
