Calling him a “clown, genius, edgelord, visionary,
industrialist, showman,” Time magazine has
named Tesla CEO Elon Musk as its Person of the
Year for 2021.
Musk, who is also the founder and CEO space
exploration company SpaceX, recently passed
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as the world’s
wealthiest person as the rising price of Tesla
pushed his net worth to around $300 billion. He
owns about 17% of Tesla’s stock, which sold for
almost $1,000 each this week.
