it WAS a theory, now it isnt.... we've been using formulas using it this whole time already... it cant be false because if it were many scientific successes wouldve been a failure... thats why it was significant...

I don't reject it because most of my adult life I have seen evidence all around me that it is true. First there is the energy from the sun which "rises" every morning and "sets" every evening. That was our sole source of energy before there were nuclear reactors.
The sun's energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen into helium with a loss of total mass, which reaction is a direct proof that, E (energy) = M (mass) x C^2 (The speed of light squared). Nuclear reactors are also powered by nuclear reactions (fission) which is direct evidence that the mass of uranium or plutonium, which is converted to energy, is multiplied by C^2.
Need I say more? Peace and Love!

E=mc^2 is based on the speed of light (3.0x10^8 m/s).
as of now nobody has already reached the speed of light even the modern-day particle accelerator so no one would reject this theory.

How can you reject it?
It's like asking if anybody rejects the statement f = ma.
There is a proven formula to verify the validity of the statement.
What else do you want?

I'm not sure, but I can tell you who definitely DOESN'T reject it:
The people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
