when the leaders of our world decided to adopt cars running on gasoline, they made gas field owners wealthy such as Rockefeller. with electric car adoption, they will make Elon Musk wealthier but right now, it's China that is winning the electric car technology, this is something that they will not like in this development.
if they decide on hydrogen-powered cars, these cars will just need water and the extractor of hydrogen from the water to keep running. no one will however get rich. maybe this is the way to go to be fair and manufacturing countries will only compete on whose technology is better.
I think the statement "when the leaders of our world decided to adopt cars running on gasoline" is wrong. the transition to internal combustion engines was caused by progress and industry requirements. And the fact that some of the "fastest" entered this market globally is due to their ability to navigate the market, the situation, and what to hide - connections and information.
But electricity has created a very competitive market, which you can now observe - Musk has started mass production of above-average cars, China produces a huge number of inexpensive, and recently even top cars, all carmakers have picked up the trend and are also producing their electric cars. So there is no monopoly in this field, there are those who have entered earlier and those who are in more comfortable conditions in terms of resources.
Regarding hydrogen cars - it is almost an ideal solution, but technologically, it is still available to a small circle of manufacturers, plus it is not a cheap (today) solution. Perhaps there will be technologies that will make hydrogen plants as common as internal combustion engines, in which case I would favor it.
