Jimmy Kimmel pointed out the best reason why Musk should get this honor: it would infuriate Trump.
Trump has desired this award for literally decades. He even has a fake Time magazine cover on display in the Mar-a-Lago dining room.
If Musk got the award instead of him, it would definitely end any sort of influence Musk had in the Trump Administration.

The rest of the post still holds up, though, about how much it would bother Trump. 🙂

(8,257 posts)If the person of the year is the most influential person of the year rather than the best person, Musk should win thumbs down. He was able to pick the president using only the lint in his change pocket.

Personally, Id say he is more qualified as the person of the rear.

(10 posts)Drumpf will just take Elons award as an extension of his own accomplishments.
Luigi Mangione I think has just started to get a conversation started about a serious flaw in our society that is costing people lives everyday.
I wish there were more Luigis. People who are smart enough and brave to carry that message and get things moving for the better.
