Elon Musk Named ‘Person of the Year’ by Time Magazine

Elon Musk, whom we talk to every day with his crazy-sounding projects, the company’s operation far from the understanding that we accept as ‘normal’, and of course his activity on social media, has been named “Person of the Year 2021” by Time magazine today. Known for his companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company, OpenAI and Zip2, which continues to be the richest person in the world, Musk has revolutionized space missions, pioneered the transformation of electric cars, and revealed many plans for the future, such as life on Mars.

Elon Musk has also become one of the main factors affecting world stock markets and cryptocurrency exchanges. As Bloomberg writer Matt Levine has previously stated, Wall Street, the world’s largest stock market center, now takes the word of even Elon Musk. The year 2021 was very active for Musk.

Time also selected the Heroes of the Year 2021:

Time magazine dedicated the title of Heroes of the Year 2021 to the scientists working on the COVID-19 vaccine, which it describes as “Miracle Workers”. The four names on the cover of the magazine were Katalin Kariko, Barney S. Graham, Kizzmekia Corbett and Drew Weissman. Dr. Kariko and Dr. Although Weismann led a revolution with mRNA technology, these achievements did not come to the fore for a long time. But their success has been used to develop COVID-19 vaccines using Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA method. Dr. Corbett and Dr. Graham played an important role in the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines.
