On the afternoon of the 13th US time, Elon Musk was elected as the 2021 person of the year of the United States "Time" magazine, and the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Edward Felsenthal, had a high evaluation of Musk, but it seemed to be a little ambivalent. He said The Man of the Year is a sign of influence, and few people can have a greater impact on life on Earth than Musk; and possibly on life beyond Earth. Musk not only became the richest man in the world, but also "drove the boldest and most destructive change in society."
Time chose Musk for good reasons:
In April, SpaceX won NASA's first exclusive contract since 1972 to send American astronauts to the moon, which will build a lunar landing system that can send astronauts to the moon by 2024;
In May, Musk hosted the nation's top veteran talk show, Saturday Night Live;
In September, Musk's SpaceX made history by successfully sending four private passengers into orbit, completing the first ever space mission by a national crew;
In October, car rental giant Hertz's $4.4 billion order for 100,000 vehicles sent Tesla's stock soaring, with a market value of more than $1,000 billion. Tesla thus became the sixth stock in the United States with a market capitalization of more than one trillion US dollars. Musk's personal wealth also "rose", making him the world's richest man, and his net worth once exceeded $300 billion;
On November 14, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket performed the launch of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, completing the first planetary defense test in human history.
Since November, Musk has been selling Tesla stock and exercising options. After some "tossing", Musk is still firmly on the throne of the richest man. According to the Bloomberg Global Billionaires List, as of December 13, Musk's personal net worth was still as high as $266 billion.
What does Chinese netizens think of Musk like?
Compared with Amazon boss Bezos, who is happy to party, Bill Gates, who is diligent in calling on the world to pay attention to climate warming and advocating national epidemic prevention, or Facebook CEO Zuckerberg, who is suspected of "CHANGING FACE" and is keen to wear the same T-shirt 365 days a year, Musk is really the richest Internet celebrity with his own topic.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Musk is the most distinctive rich man in the minds of Chinese netizens, in just a few years of registering the official Weibo, Musk-related terms have been on the hot search list dozens of times.
Not long ago, Musk posted the "Seven-Step Poem" by Cao Zhi, a great talent of the Three Kingdoms period, on Twitter and China's Weibo, which exploded in the Weibo topic list for a time.
The reason is that in response to an official of the United Nations Food Programme calling musk to donate money, I did not expect that Musk neither ignored it, nor publicly choked back, but sent a connotation of ancient Chinese poems, do not know how "crooked nuts" understand the meaning of this ancient poem, brothers misinterpreted as euphemisms to refuse to force donations, this matter is estimated that only Musk can do. Chinese netizens sincerely lamented that to narrow the distance with themselves, Musk actually used Cao Zhi more than 1,000 years ago.
Some netizens have turned Musk P into the appearance of an ancient Chinese poet, without any sense of violation.
Musk has worked Weibo to create an image of an American businessman who loves China, for example, to wish Chinese netizens a happy Year of the Ox. The Year of the Tiger is coming soon, and it is not surprising that he will also come to a New Year's greeting post.
Musk also sent congratulatory letters to his Chinese counterparts.
Of course, more often than not, it is to give their own space dreams and company platforms.
Alternative names for young children Frequent change of female partner Musk's private life is like an American drama
Musk is single again! Recently, Musk's three-year relationship with personality singer Grimes has ended without a problem, and he has restored his identity as the "earth-level masonry king".
Musk has a son with Grimes and has a very cosmic name: X A-Xii Musk. Who will read it? Some have speculated that it read X ash Archangel-12, or "X Gray Archangel 12," and Musk even nodded on Twitter. But what exactly the name means, Musk did not release the answer, but it does not really matter, what is important is that this is Musk's child.
Of course, the most famous of Musk's girlfriends is Hollywood actress Amber Heard. Although Mayber Hield was accused of lying in a dog-blood divorce with ex-husband Johnny Depp, the "bad woman" who brought her own topic was subsequently favored by Musk. Although the two people's feelings come and go, leaving a lipstick mark and a bunch of paparazzi secretly taking photos is undoubtedly a harvest for the two who are keen on eyeballs. Playing with the media, Mayber Hilde's skills are no less than Musk's.
The lipstick brand used by Meber Hield became a hot search.
Of course, before Musk became super-rich, several of his marriages were also talked about. He and his first ex-wife gave birth to five sons in a row with the help of IVF, the first twins, and the second three sons, plus the youngest son, X A-Xii Musk, Musk seems to have a certain obsession with having boys and girls. If this is China's first-tier big city, Musk is afraid to prepare six sets of marriage rooms for his six sons, of course, this is a drop in the world's richest man.
Half a hundred years old, Musk began to show his father's love, and held video conferences with his young son.
And Musk seems to be in love with his second wife, Tarula Riley, and has successively "tied up and left" with Tarula Riley, and ordinary people don't play like this.
Musk is diligent in creating topics in the media and naturally pays great attention to personal image. Legend has it that in his early years, because he was obsessed with research and development, "excessive use of the brain led to severe hair loss", but this small problem could not upset Musk, at least we see that he has now successfully recovered a hair.
A brother with goods Musk for his own business "with salt"
There is no doubt that Musk, with a distinct personality, is good at using the media and public opinion to build his influence. On Twitter, the Internet celebrity rich man has 66.49 million fans, while Bezos, whose wealth is not too much, is only 3.37 million people, and although the figure of 66.49 million is still a certain gap with the 89 million fans before Trump was banned, as Musk comes behind, in time, Musk is likely to become the number one V of Twitter.
Of course, being an influencer is pure musk play tickets. Energetic, he will even make a cameo role in the American drama "The Big Bang Theory" or host a TV show.
What he really cares about is how the big string of teslas, SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring Company, SolarCity, Hyperloop— works in an orderly fashion. And how to expand the popularity of this string of companies, Musk does not need to find any Hollywood stars, well-known hosts to stand on the platform, because he himself is the largest traffic on the earth this year. Our domestic Li Jiaqi with lipstick, Wei Ya "selling rockets" may bring valuable business opportunities, but it is really not a level with Musk.
In recent years, how Tesla's electric vehicle sales have been, let the author speak with a set of data: According to Experian data, Tesla's local sales in the first 10 months exceeded that of traditional luxury car brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, with a market share of nearly 70%. In China, especially in some large and medium-sized cities, more and more Tesla is running all over the street.
For his own company to "bring salt", Musk is worthy of "a brother with goods".
When it comes to "super Musk", whether your identity is an investor, a netizen or a melon-eating crowd, it is inevitable that you will be more or less curious about the super rich man's every move, after all, a rich man with a story and fun is a rare talking point.
