Elon Musk has been named Time’s Person of the Year for 2021, in a move that has drawn quite a backlash from critics.

Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX founder, recently passed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as the world’s wealthiest person, and his net worth is estimated to be around $300 billion. « This is the man who aspires to save our planet and get us a new one to inhabit: clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman, » Time gushed.
