Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
The magazine reported that Musk, the most well off man on the planet, as its decision Monday.
"He is reshaping life on Earth and perhaps life off Earth, also," Edward Felsenthal, Time's editorial manager in-boss, said Monday on NBC's "TODAY" show.
Felsenthal wrote in Time's profile of Musk: "Individual of the Year is a marker of impact, and scarcely any people have had more impact than Musk on life on Earth, and possibly life off Earth as well."
"In 2021, Musk arose as the world's most extravagant individual as well as maybe the most extravagant illustration of a monstrous change in our general public," he composed.
Musk's spaceflight organization left a mark on the world in September when it effectively dispatched four private passengers into space on the first mission to space with an all-regular citizen team.

The magazine gave grants in various classifications Thursday, including naming Simone Biles as athlete of the year and Olivia Rodrigo as performer of the year.
Time has yearly chosen a Person of the Year for almost a century. Last year, it picked President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for the best position. What's more in 2019, the Swedish environmental change activist Greta Thunberg, then, at that point, 16, received the title.
