Words of The Editor
“Person of the Year is a marker of influence, and few individuals have had more influence than Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too,” Edward Felsenthal, the Time editor-in-chief wrote. “In 2021, Musk emerged not just as the world’s richest person but also as perhaps the richest example of a massive shift in our society.”

History of Time Magazine’s Person of the Year
It’s been almost 100 years since Time has started naming the “Person of the Year”. The magazine declares their chosen individual, duo, or a group those who have “the greatest influence on the events of the year—for better or worse.”
In 2020, Time declared the duo, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Persons of the Year.
Time started naming their Person of the Year from 1927 and from then some big names of the history like Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr, Adolf Hitler, John F. Kennedy, The Computer, etc.
Every December, the Time team sits to decide their person of the year which also makes them look backward and remind the past list. Time chose Jeff Bezos in 1999 when Amazon was started to grow into the biggest e-commerce it is today.
In 2010, they choose Mark Zuckerberg before Facebook’s full dominance worldwide. And this year, Time estimates that in a few years Tesla and SpaceX will rule the world and we will be living in a world envisioned by Elon Musk.
