Bear in mind that this might still be Mr Zuckerberg's "Paypal Phase"; making his fortune by means of a generally-reviled yet enormously-used service to enable him to personally pivot to Great Human Projects once he casts it off.

Mr Musk wasn't known for wanting to save humanity in that phase of his life.

Except his net worth far exceeds that which is required to move from PayPal phase to Great Human Projects phase. I think you're giving him way too much credit.

He wants to spread a platform across the globe that "connects" people by isolating them in front of their screens/VR goggles. That's the grand vision in a nutshell.

Musk made $165M from Paypal.

Google tells me Zuck's current net worth is $35B.

Sure, this might be inexact, but the latter number is about 200 times larger than the first.
