Time magazine has once again chosen «Person of the Year». This time it was the entrepreneur, the head of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk.
“Elon Musk has an extraordinary impact on life on earth, and in the long term, on life beyond. From the existential crisis of climate change and the challenges of inequality to the new frontiers of the possible, no one embodies these themes better than Elon Musk, ”said Edward Felsenthal, editor-in-chief of Time magazine.
The owner of Tesla and SpaceX became the richest man in the world in 2021, and has also made efforts to overtake Boeing in the space race. Time magazine also drew attention to statements made by Elon Musk on the climate, the development of artificial intelligence and the use of cryptocurrencies.
Earlier, Elon Musk reported that the company SpaceX may face bankruptcy. This could happen because of the crisis in the production of Raptor engines for the carrier rocket Super Heavy.
In 2020, the nomination "Man of the Year" according to Time magazine was U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
