Time magazine's 2021 Person of the Year announced: Elon Musk was elected

On December 13, Time magazine announced on its official Twitter that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was elected as Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year.

Time magazine said: "As the richest man in the world, he does not have a house, has been selling property lately, he has put satellites into orbit and used solar energy to serve thousands of households, he drives a self-made car that requires no petrol and hardly requires a driver." With a flick of his finger, the stock market soars or plummets, his every word is put on the lips of a large group of fans, and he dreams of colonizing Mars as he takes his business global. ”

It is understood that the tradition of Time magazine's annual selection of people began in 1927, selecting the most influential individuals, groups, actions or ideas of each year. The Person of the Year is ultimately decided by the magazine's editorial board, and the results of the online vote give a glimpse into who readers think has the most influence on this year's events.

In 2020, U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris were named 2020 Person of the Year.
