The Financial Times, following Time magazine, named Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, "Person of the Year", praising his work to transform the automotive industry.
Tesla, the world leader in electric vehicles, has pushed many users and renowned automakers to focus on electric vehicles. In a column, the Financial Times editor praised Musk for his flamboyant demonstration that electric cars can indeed replace gasoline-powered cars and called him a revolutionary in the industry.
Tesla, which currently has a market capitalization of more than $ 1 trillion, is now worth more than the renowned automakers Ford Motor and General Motors combined.
“For a long time, representatives of the automotive industry called me and Tesla fools and scammers. They said that electric cars would not work, that we would not be able to achieve sufficient range and power. And even if they can, no one will buy them, ”Musk quotes the publication.
Elon Musk has amassed more than 66 million Twitter followers, and his messages have the strongest impact on cryptocurrency prices. The name of a billionaire without property of his own appears more often than others in the headlines.
Despite all the eccentric and provocative messages that some may find childish, he is one of the most important business figures of his time. For this reason, the FT makes him the Person of the Year 2021.
