Who will win Time Magazine’s person of 2022?
It’s that time of year again when Time Magazine awards its person of the year, so here’s the shortlist so far
Time Magazine is looking for who dominated headlines and conversations in 2022. Ahead of the reveal this week, it has shortlisted a few candidates.
Elon Musk makes the cut
Top pick, is Elon Musk once again. The billionaire dominating headlines for his $44 billion takeover of Twitter.
He is no stranger to controversy, with many critics slamming his changes to the social media giant.
Xi Jinping
Next, is Xi Jinping as he secured himself a third term as President of China. He also stole the global spotlight for his draconian zero-covid strategy, as thousands call for his resignation.
Xi has also been the centre of geopolitical tensions and trade with the United States and Australia.
Plus, China’s dominance over Taiwan has cause a global stir.
U.S. Supreme Court
Also named is the U.S. Supreme court for overturning the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade abortion law.
The landmark ruling overturned the law that recognised a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion and legalised it nationwide.
It sparked global protests with thousands of women begging for the right to decide what they do with their own bodies.
Volodymyr Zelensky
No surprise, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky made the cut. The comedian turned President is leading his country through war.
During 2022, Zelensky has given unwavering strength for Ukraine. He has forced world leaders to support the war-torn nation, in the face of Russian aggression.
He has been a pillar of hope, endurance and resilience.
Iran protestors
Protestors in Iran have also been named, as the country continues to stand up against the strict Islamic Republic.
The uprising is one of the largest in the nations history, with the world unable to turn a blind eye.
Women have been burning their hijabs and cutting their hair, forcing the Parliament to review the mandatory hijab law.
The magazine also made mention of Ron DeSantis, Gun safety advocates and Liz Cheney.
Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.
The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.
The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.
Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
