Musk was named Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year: Stirring up the world at a stroke of the finger

Financial Associated Press (Shanghai, editor Shi Zhengcheng) news, on Monday morning local time in the United States, the world's richest man Musk has another honorary title: Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year.

Time magazine described Musk in a cover article: The richest man on the planet doesn't have a single real estate and has recently sold off his stock. He puts satellites into orbit, makes full use of solar energy, and drives a car of his own creation that not only doesn't use gasoline, but even the driver barely uses it. At the snap of his fingers, the stock market jumped up and down. Every word he said was followed by a large number of fans. While he crossed the earth, he was also dreaming of Mars, with an indomitable will and image.

The article also refers to 2021 as the year Musk broke through all kinds of shackles, and his success in various fields has made those who have questioned him for a long time finally shut up. In April, SpaceX was awarded an exclusive contract from NASA to reintroduce American astronauts to the moon since 1972; Musk starred in "Saturday Night Live" in May; hertz car rental in October shouted that it wanted to order 100,000 Teslas; and helped NASA perform the first planetary orbit intervention experiment and study cosmic X-rays... Wait a minute. Not to mention that while he shook the market with his massive sale of Tesla shares, he also expressed anger on social media against the Democratic lawmakers who triggered this wave of stock sales.

Musk's election is not surprising, in 2021, as the green economy becomes the focus of global politics and economy, Tesla successfully broke through the trillion-dollar market value (recently with Musk's own stock sales fell below this threshold), the world's new richest man's words and deeds have also received widespread attention.

Time magazine's Person of the Year is usually awarded by political figures, such as Obama and Merkel, and economic figures rarely receive this honor, and the last time an entrepreneur became Person of the Year, it was back to Zuckerberg in 2010.
