I think you're joking, but I can't tell.
When I bought my Roadster in 2011 Elon was saying that Tesla's goal was to break into the market with a hand-built high-performance electric sports car, then build a less-expensive luxury sedan, and work their way down to building an affordable electric family car. When I bought my Model 3 I thought that this was supposed to be that affordable family car, with a base price of US$30K. Now that base price is $45K. Musk has apparently given up on the idea of building electric cars that ordinary working people could buy. And meanwhile he goes everywhere in his private jet. How many Teslas worth of "green" does he wipe out every time he flies in his jet?
Electric cars are far less damaging to the climate than gas cars, but they're not going to "solve" climate change. Tesla builds luxury cars for those of us who can afford them. They're the best cars on the road and I love being able to drive electric. But to solve climate change we have to STOP burning fossil fuels, and we have to figure out how to start removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Transportation accounts for 27% of U.S. CO2 emissions. But luxury cars (the market Tesla is operating in) probably account for 10% of that. So Musk is "working" to reduce CO2 emissions by 3% once all luxury cars are electric in 20 to 30 years. Though by then there will be many more EV makers, so even if Tesla keeps 1/3 of the luxury EV market, Tesla would reduce U.S. emissions by 1%.
And then there's the rest of the world.
No, Musk is not "singlehandedly solving climate change."
