Although Elon's actions were largely driven by personal gain, but he was a public supporter of bitcoin when there weren't many celebrities backing the currency, and that also meant he helped make bitcoin more popular at the time. To this day, he remains a bitcoin supporter as Tesla still holds over 11kBTC.

What about the damage he caused to all of us when he publicly announced that BTC was harmful to the environment? Even then, mining was quite
"green", given that the largest mining farms were near the largest hydropower plants. The fact is that the damage he has done with his moves far outweighs any benefits, but people blinded by his wealth have never been and will never be objective when it comes to his contribution compared to the damage he has caused with his moves - and let's not forget the DOGE pump where people (naive) lost a lot of money.
