It’s not just the rich. It’s everyone who takes a car to work instead of bike, it’s everyone who takes an Uber or even a bus instead of walking a mile, it’s everyone who demands that stores open on time and packages are delivered on time.
It’s hypocritical to hold Musk to a standard that nobody else meets.

None of those are anywhere near as polluting as jet fuel. Which has lead in it.
It’s still justifying pollution for your convenience. And a lot more CO2 has been emitted for the convenience of people who aren’t rich.
If you live in the US, you are responsible for 3-10X the emissions of people in other countries. You can’t justify that by pointing to Musk.
I see, so I can’t criticize Musk for adding lead to the atmosphere for his personal convenience because I have a carbon footprint.
Logical.
Singling someone out for criticism when you do the same is the definition of hypocrisy.
But… I don’t do the same. I don’t put lead into the atmosphere.
You’ve never flown on a commercial aircraft? Or bought anything that was transported by air?
Are you saying those aircraft wouldn’t have flown if I didn’t specifically do those things? Because otherwise, again, not the same.
If that’s the standard, then Musk is not responsible either. His aircraft would have flown even if he never purchased it.
