What if hyper loop will turned to be hyper flop?
I mean, electric cars, then autonomous cars, solar roofs, batteries, hyperloops, boring company, send humans to the space and back.
Isn’t too much to accredit one person?

I also don’t agree with your logic of … A person shouldn’t accomplish too much in life? Is that what you are saying?
The “solar roof” is more of a gimmic those tiles are less efficient than other roof mounted cells but they at least are not as ugly so they are a luxury item for people who want to have a nice looking roof over their nice looking house.
They also might be a way to get solar installed in some places with very strict homeowners association regulations but they aren’t exactly a paradigm shifting innovation.
The Boring Company and the hyperloop might again flop and yes this isn’t as important as SpaceX or Tesla as far as worldwide impact goes but it’s an important step at taking a new approach at the US mass public transport problem.
Hyperloop is less important to other parts of the world like Japan or Europe which already have pretty decent high speed rail systems but it might be important for developing regions like Africa, India and China.
Many times before pioneers and early innovators were side lined due to various reasons but their impact is not any less meaningful becuase of that.
Even if Tesla disappears in 10 years it sparked an arms race in the car industry and even if it flops next year it’s too late for all the other car manufacturers to backtrack on their commitments and investments in getting EV out to the masses.
If SpaceX fails it did showed that commercial space flight is possible and that reusing rockets can be done on a commercial and economical scale.
For all that either company can still achieve they’ve done more than enough on their part already.
As for the Boring company it might fail in a way that some one would pick up the mantle and refine the concept, it might fail in a way that would make people say whelp... this won’t work let’s build a high speed rail system finally but at least it’s not a $400 juice bag squeezer or yet another wireless speaker.
How is that limit set?
