Elon Musk has another accomplishment to add to his resume—he's been namedTIME magazine's Person of the Year for 2021.
It's been a big year for Musk and his companies Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla's rising stock price made Musk the wealthiest human on Earth on paper, while SpaceX successfully launched the first-ever orbital flight with a crew of tourists and no astronauts.
TIME wrote: "few individuals have had more influence than Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too".
