Elon Musk named Time magazine's 2021 Person of the Year

I can't say I am a fan of the eccentricity of the man but you can't deny he has influenced and steered technology. The achievements of SpaceX alone warrant recognition ... in your face Bezos.

I believe that there are those more worthy, but he will sell copies.

So Elon doesn't like the oversized windscreen wiper on his Cybertruck. If it is due to functionality then ok, understandable ... but if it is because of aesthetics well .. ummm.. too bad ... your truck is damn ugly. Even Homers design looks a tad better.

I was just browsing the history of the times cover. Started alright with Lindbergh but went south pretty quickly. Some serious psychopaths in there. Stalin won twice. What are the selection criteria? Pretty broad I reckon. Don't invade me?

Karl Marx's sister, Onya, made it on the cover of Time.

She was the inventor of the starter's pistol.
