Edward Felsenthal, Time's editor in Chief, write on Monday that the Magazine's person of the year - a nearly century tradition- highlights people of influence and that " few individuals have had more influence than musk on life on Earth and potentially Life off Earth too.
Time said in an article explaining it's choice groundbreaking and often controversial executive. "He sees his mission as solving the globe's most intractable challenges along the way disrupting multiple industries.
According to Time magazine:
This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, cad; a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, the brooding, blue-skinned man-god who invents electric cars and moves to Mars. His start-up rocket company, SpaceX, has leapfrogged Boeing and others to own America’s spacefaring future. His car company, Tesla, controls two-thirds of the multibillion-dollar electric-vehicle market it pioneered and is valued at a cool $1 trillion. That has made Musk, with a net worth of more than $250 billion, the richest private citizen in history, at least on paper. He’s a player in robots and solar, cryptocurrency and climate, brain-computer implants to stave off the menace of artificial intelligence and underground tunnels to move people and freight at super speeds. He dominates Wall Street: “The way finance works now is that things are valuable not based on their cash flows but on their proximity to Elon Musk,” Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine wrote in February, after Musk’s “Gamestonk!!” tweet vaulted the meme-stock craze into the stratosphere.
Musk Company was also selected by NASA to help develop Spacecraft to land astronauts on the moon 🌚.
