Tesla Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk has been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2021

It’s been a big year for Musk, whose electric car company became the most valuable carmaker in the world and his rocket company soared to the edge of space with an all-civilian crew.

The 50-year-old is also the founder and CEO of Space-X, and leads brain-chip startup Neuralink and infrastructure firm The Boring Company.

Tesla’s market value soared to more than $1 trillion U-S this year, making it more valuable than Ford Motor and General Motors combined.

‘Time’ has described Musk as “the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit”.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
