I tend to think that when we die the only thing that's really left of us is the impact we had on other people and our reputation. If we're measuring by those standards, he is one of the biggest losers in a generation.

Your argument doesn't work here. I don't like the guy but if he dies it can't be disputed that he had a massive impact on the world with Tesla accelerating the acceptance of EV's. He's arguably the most positively impactful person on the earth over the last 15 years. As with most of the richest people on the planet he's not a great guy but the byproducts of his business have been a huge positive for the planet and it made him the richest man on the planet in the process. If that's not winning then I don't know what is.
