On December 13, the US "Time" magazine announced on its official Twitter that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was selected as "Time" magazine's 2021 Person of the Year.

"Time" magazine said: "As the world's richest man, he does not own a house and has been selling off his properties recently. He puts satellites into orbit and uses solar energy. Serving thousands of households, he drove a car he built that required no gasoline and almost no need for a driver. If he waved, the stock market would skyrocket or plummet. Every word he said was hung on the lips of a large group of fans. When he promoted his business to the world, he also dreamed of emigrating to Mars."

It is understood that, The tradition of Time magazine's Person of the Year selection began in 1927, selecting the most influential individuals, groups, actions or ideas each year. The Person of the Year is ultimately decided by the magazine's editorial team, and online voting results provide a glimpse into who readers think has the most influence on this year's events.

In 2020, US President Biden and Vice President Harris were named the 2020 Persons of the Year.
