To be fair, the contribution of SpaceX is only limited to sending the probe out in that direction with the required speed. Rocket launchers should not take much credit for the payload it carries. If not SpaceX, ULA or Ariane would have launched this. All credit goes to the scientists and engineers who built the probe.
Same goes to JWST.

I agree in general...SpaceX sends NASA craft on collision course with asteroid to test concept of protecting Earth in case of future threat

Better examples of SpaceX/Tesla "saving the world" would include:
• F9/SS reusability driving down the cost of a payload providing access to space for many people
• Tesla forcing change on the entire auto industry. It has been such a smackdown that competitors pretend they do not exist and take credit themselves.
