Musk was elected Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year

According to foreign media reports, on Monday local time, the US "Time" magazine announced Tesla CEO Elon Musk as the 2021 person of the year.

In addition to Tesla, Musk is the founder and CEO of SpaceX, leading brain chip startup Neuralink and infrastructure company The Holding Company, which soared to more than $1 trillion this year, surpassing Ford and GM combined. Tesla produces hundreds of thousands of cars every year and is also the leader in the tide of electric vehicle transformation.

As the world's richest man, he puts satellites into orbit and uses solar energy to serve thousands of households. Edward Felsenthal, editor-in-chief of Time magazine, said he had the courage to solve the crisis, realize the value of tech giants, and promote the most daring and disruptive changes in society; calling him a clown, a genius, an industrialist or a performer, but he was also a man who was eager to save the human planet. So he deserves to be Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2021.

However, Musk said in an interview with Time magazine that he does not think he has that much influence and that market volatility has nothing to do with him. Although Musk's actions and remarks have always been very controversial, according to Time Magazine, the "Person of the Year", for better or worse, is the person who occupies the news focus or has the greatest impact on our lives."
