How about a perch as Time’s Person of the Year. The magazine has conferred that honor on Tesla founder, citing his work revolutionizing the electric car industry, as well as the fact that his company SpaceX’s won an exclusive NASA contract to put astronauts on the moon. Musk, as the magazine notes, also had a well-received hosting turn on SNL. It wasn’t all encomiums.

to business; and chasms of wealth and opportunity. In an earlier era, ambitions on the scale of interplanetary travel were the ultimate collective undertaking, around which Presidents rallied nations….For creating solutions to an existential crisis, for embodying the possibilities and the perils of the age of tech titans, for driving society’s most daring and disruptive transformations, Elon Musk is TIME’s 2021 Person of the Year.

Last year, Time named Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the people of the year. Past recipients have included Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos, Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg.

Time’s credibility on that steady decline

🤮🤮🤮🤮

why, have we run out of people?

So, you can buy that too?

Just a reminder: it doesn't mean 'BEST' person of the year. After all, Hitler had this same honor in 1938. Along with Khruschev, Nixon, Putin. So. You know. And no, I'm not saying he's as bad as them. Just pointing out this isn't a judgment on the winner being a good person.

Maybe by the TIMES, but not by the GRIMES.

what are the qualifications to be considered, nominated, and recognized as “person of the year”?

Person we should steer clear.

Great: more feed for his ego

so it’s official: nowadays dollars virtue

I may subscribe to Time just so I can cancel my subscription.

Lady gaga person of the century, me thinks

Yes, let's celebrate a man who does not pay his taxes.
