Musk spends half his time on electric cars, solar power, and grid storage, plus he just donated $100M for a carbon capture XPrize. He's probably had more positive impact on climate change than any other human on the planet. I doubt other car companies would be so far along on electric cars if Tesla hadn't forced the issue.

Bezos hasn't been that focused on climate but in 2020 he did donate $10 billion to his Earth Fund.

He also pledged to make Amazon a carbon neutral company by 2040, which combined with the implicit goal of Amazon taking over the entire world economy (joking not joking) is a big deal.
