Explaining it in 2021, Time editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal told, “Person of the Year is a marker of influence, and few individuals have had more influence than Elon Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too. Time emphasizes that its annual acknowledgment is not an award, but rather, a recognition of the person who had the most influence on the events of the year, for good or for ill," as per Fox9.
