But not an economic success and there was (and still is to be frank) no successful EV industry besides Tesla. A lot of fanfare with little results.

NASA and competitors dismissed any idea of landing rockets or even reusability in the first place. It was deemed a failed idea. This is why the SLS has been created by NASA as reusability was deemed a failure.
On the other items besides PayPal, they aren't successes yet so I'll reserve judgement.
