Everything. As It Happens.
i’m more in the wtf category myself.
what did he do? went to space, bought bitcoin, offloaded some shares.
whoop de bleedin do.
we could all think of a dozen people each more deserving than some rich silly. after all, every penny that pumpkin donates to charity is a tax write-off.
It’s not about the best person of the year, but the person who has been most influential over news or events in the year.
There may be a few others in that category, but he definitely qualifies.
so you don’t have to be even remotely decent to win it then?
they should call d1ckwad of the year so.
Stalin and Hitler have won it in the past.
A time-honoured tradition.
“WTF or finally?”
Nah…, he outbid Gates, Bezos, et al…
scumbag
Ask the child miners in the Congo what they think of Tesla’s market value, or musk’s personal wealth. Put some balance in the picture. He has power to address these issues.
why is one the wealth of one built on the deprivation of others?
I realise it is not just tesla who use Congo for resources. He could lead the way .
Pffft. Enda Kenny and Leo Varadkar were on the cover of TIME. The bar isn’t so high
Ben Elton Time. A total one-eared space hopper expert.

Ta, galaxiapolizia!
Did Imelda May win anything?
Maybe.
There’s something special about Elon Musk. He’s a huge player in the USA military complex machine, and yet, recently criticized Biden on his “Build Back Better” scheme and called Bill Gates a knuckleduster or something, it’s kind of surprising that Time would choose him.
