Time has revealed its 2021 Person of the Year: Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

The magazine unveiled the pick during a livestream on Monday. The title goes to the person who “had the greatest influence on the year — for better or worse,” Time explains, and editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal described Musk as someone “with extraordinary influence on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth, too.” Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, serves as CEO of the rocket company SpaceX and the electric car company Tesla.

“In 2021, Musk emerged not just as the world’s richest person but also as perhaps the richest example of a massive shift in our society,” Felsenthal wrote. “From Amazon’s Jeff Bezos to Facebook turned Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, the year brought home the extent to which, at a time of rising protest over ever deepening inequality, our lives and many of the basic structures around them are now shaped by the pursuits, products and priorities of the world’s wealthiest people.”

This selection comes after President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were named Time Person of the Year for 2020 following their election win; former President Donald Trump was similarly selected as Person of the Year in 2016.

  1. Time magazine is run by a bunch of white supremacist Republican males. First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden is the person of the year. She is ever so gracious, always helping Joe get off his bed. Dr. Jill is by far the most honorable First Lady in our Nations racist history. Dr. Jill has done more for blacks than any person in history. Hopefully Merrick Garland will investigate the white domestic terrorists at Time.
