Elon Musk is Time's person of the year

[hoodrow trillson]

He's the greatest con man in recent times!  I'd be honored if I were him to swindle people out of their money with empty promises and constantly moving goal posts

Maybe Elon Musk is great by our current society's standards, values, and expectations...Whatever that is.

Anyway why does TIME Magazine have the final say in who's the greatest person of the year? What authority do they have? God?

What are these empty promises and swindling?

Millions of people are getting their Tesla cars, solar panels and battery systems, cheap reliable satellite internet, and other goods.

You make it sound like he's running a pyramid scheme or something. If that were the case he would've been investigated for fraud long ago.

In my view, Elon is a super rich capitalist who plays with his rockets and cars without having a genuine and uncorrupted vision to solve deep societal problems. i'm not denying - he's contributing to the technological advancements but his approach is still shallow/narrow and it lacks profundity. and it is because he has too big ego and no selflessness which is fundamental in changing the paradigms. and changing paradigms is what's solves those deep rooted issues we face. 

Btw, who cares what Time magazine says, anyway.
