How Elon Musk landed Time’s ‘Person of the Year’

In this story

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”.
