Opinion | The worst part about Time naming Elon Musk its "Person of the Year"

Opinion | The worst part about Time naming Elon Musk its "Person of the Year"

The magazine says Musk deserves its top honor because of his bold vision for the future. But is it the future we need?

Musk-hating is a sport of the Weakminded Woke - people whose total accomplishment in life is Nothing or Negative. They will not be remembered. Musk will.

Typical vitriol based in self righteousness, envy and small minded, social "group-think". The Times shows just how low it will stoop to allege inequity, harsh treatment of inevitable disgruntled employees when they refused to align themselves with Musk's mind and body all-consuming work ethic. The man paid more taxes this month than any American in history. His companies take on challenges that even governments dare not tackle. He even has the Russians complaining that he is "ruining" the space launch industry by re-using his Falcon 9. Claims that his successes are due to subsidies are humorously incorrect. The carbon and vehicle subsidies provided by our governments to Tesla did exactly what they were intended to do ie: encourage electrification of transportation. We all breathe cleaner air as a result. Is Musk perfect? ....absolutely not. He is as flawed as the rest of us and he makes mistakes just like the rest of us. A person with Musk's intellect might occur once or twice every 4,000 years. We should grant that maybe he can see futures that we can't see. While living an a 400 sq ft tiny home in Texas and owning no other homes or gaudy yachts, Musk is throwing body, soul, mind and all of his resources into avoiding negative futures that rest of us are unable to see or appreciate. The future Musk is creating with his wealth will stand for itself, by growing stock valuations, his companies will fund millions of retirement accounts, we will drive clean vehicles that can be endlessly and efficiently recycled. Musk disrupts everything he touches, sadly most of humanity is just not bright enough to understand and thank God that he has a thick skin....
