Elon Musk has another accomplishment to add to his resume – he’s been named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year for 2021.

It’s been a big year for Musk and his companies Tesla and SpaceX.  Tesla’s rising stock price made Musk the wealthiest human on Earth on paper, while SpaceX successfully launched the first-ever orbital flight with a crew of tourists and no astronauts.

TIME wrote: “few individuals have had more influence than Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too“.
