He's a bit nutty, his cars are okay. But man his stock made me very happy since the pandemic so kudos to him. Looking forward to the next split.

Actually impressed, as I was expecting xi or Putin, or a 3 sport tranny… what’s up with a reputable pic? No one must be buying Time anymore, and they decided to throw in a reasonable pick?

Publications are dying. I wouldn't be surprised if this honor is now for sale, like stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Egon knew all about this back in 1984.

I lost respect for Time when Osama Bin Laden was not the man of the year in 2001.

The person on the year isn't supposed to be "Best American" or "Nicest Guy" or "Humanitarian of the Year". It's supposed to be the person/organization or "movement" that had the biggest effect on the World and who may very well have changed history.

Elon Musk, yeah, I can sort of see it. Not sure who did more in 2021?

Time's POTY isn't necessarily a positive thing. Hitler was 1938's "winner."

quote:

The magazine's criteria for the selection is “the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill," Time wrote in 2014. "


I guarantee the article about Elon bitches about "muh billionaires going to space while poor people die from climate change"

At least it is not a laughable pick for once in recent history.

I actually think it was a very good/fair write-up. Worth the read.

I hope he tweets "How strange. Well, back to work." like he did when it was announced that he was the richest man in the world
