Elon Musk, of course!
"I've done more for the environment than any single human on earth. What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it - and what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil," - Elon Musk

This but unironically. Tesla put electric vehicles on the map. Starship will change humanity forever, and Neuralink is already helping patients.
He's not perfect (but hey, Von Braun was worse), but at least he's actually doing stuff that matters.
I get your point, but he didn't create Tesla, he bought it (as far as I know). So it could be argued that these things would be happening with or without him. But with him, he's giving electric cars (at least, that brand) a bad name.
Back then they had no cars at all though.
But yeah he's not personally building the rockets and engines, but he's still far, far better than 99% of politicians and oligarchs who are just using the same money to go to Epstein's island etc.
