Time magazine has named Tesla chief Elon Musk as its 'Person of the Year'.
Time editors have previously defined the title as recognising people who"embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse".Time magazine has named Tesla chief and space entrepreneur Elon Musk as its 'Person of the Year', citing his embodiment of the technological shifts but also concerning trends that were reshaping people's lives.
"Musk's rise coincides with broader trends of which he and his fellow technology magnates are part cause and part effect," Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal wrote. Time editors have previously defined the title - which last year went to US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris - as recognising people who "embodied what was important about the year, for better or for worse."In October, Mr Musk's electric car company's valuation soared above a trillion dollars, and SpaceX has teamed up with US space agency NASA to launch various missions including a test run of protecting Earth from an asteroid.
