Quote:
Despite the magazine's frequent statements to the contrary, the designation is often regarded as an honor, and spoken of as an award or prize, simply based on many previous selections of admirable people.[9] However, Time magazine points out that controversial figures such as Adolf Hitler (1938), Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), Nikita Khrushchev (1957) and Ayatollah Khomeini (1979) have also been granted the title for their impact on events.[10]

Outside of his political and religious views and his financial status, I like Elon. I think he is major technological influence for mankind. Like him or hate him, he is fighting the good fight, IMHO.

People magazine really showed up Time this year by putting Dolly Parton (our national treasure) on the cover. Elon Musk is basically just "some rich jerk" by comparison.

His views on almost everything seem inconsistent, to put it mildly. His financial status doesn't bother me, but how he obtained much of it does. He's often highly entertaining[^], though!

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Or the gamer Millenials(The ones who played the original *Call of Duty* and *Halo: Combat Evolved*) "It's an ammo holder that puts in ammo to be fired in an assault rifle..." Then their conspiracy theory middle brother:"Oh no, I knew this would happen! Elon Musk and the major media are going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH GUNS AND ROCKET NUKES!!!"

I personally don't like her singing (I don't like country music in general), but I have to admit that she's a better choice for a magazine cover than Elon Musk.

Eh, I tried reading Wired several times and had to dodge so many adverts. Also all the gun magazines (no not gun magazines, gun magazines) available in my country are full of adverts to the brim.
