SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Elon Musk has been voted Time magazine’s Person of the Year 2021.
Based on Time, The Tesla and SpaceX mogul was chosen for his “dream of Mars as he crosses Earth, square and indomitable.”
Musk is the richest man on the planet, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $265.4 billion.
Time writes: “The richest man in the world doesn’t own a home and recently sold off his fortune. “He threw satellites into orbit and harnessed the sun; he drives a car he built that uses no gasoline and requires almost no driver. With the snap of his fingers, the stock market jumps or swoops.”
Time magazine’s Person of the Year is named by the magazine’s editors at the end of each calendar year and begins for the first time in 1927.
Last year, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were jointly named Person of the Year.
