1) How is Musk's regard for others, or lack thereof, relevant to the existence of Tesla?
You ask:
2) Who did it before him? Oh, let me see: Anderson, Edison and Baker, in the 19th Century, and the corporations Mitsubishi, Nissan, VW and Fiat in the 20th and 21st centuries. It's really not that difficult: Uh, battery, washing machine motor, connect, go!
Everyone I know who has owned a Tesla thinks it's a clunker, with no maneuverability, and have gone back to Porsche, BMW, etc.
3) This development is easy? Well, yes, I think it is. The main difficulty is the battery, which Musk had absolutely nothing to do with. It was the invention of the brilliant Dr. John Goodenough, Nobel Laureate, and inventor of the next generation Yttrium battery.
I think it's great that Tesla has added a little bit to earlier efforts, but let's not get carried away. And please, Musk is not a genius. On the spectrum maybe, but not a genius.
Now let me see...$56 billion for a year of work = $1,750 per second, night and day, sleep or wake, or over $6 million per hour. Let me ask you, do you really think anyone is remotely worth that sort of money?
I would have you ask Dr. Goodenough but unfortunately he's dead, as is Adam Smith.

No. Companies get created to create profit. The public interest of shiny plastic junk in need for it are NIL
That makes zero sense whatsoever. We’re through here
Bullshit. There’s no alternative in many places. Take your fossil fuel cocksucking elsewhere. I’m not having it. I sure as hell don’t want to see it
