Elon Musk’s Time Magazine Award Follows As He Becomes Richest Person On Earth
Time Magazine, in a short interview with its Person of the Year, also commented on Musk’s Twitter account. When compared to other billionaires, he has a strong presence on the social media platform, and he often shares his views on different subjects, details about his companies and their products, and arguably his favorite subject, cryptocurrency.
Responding to a question about his Twitter posts and whether they fit well with a “brand”, Musk replied:
He also commented on whether he believes that his Tweets have a strong impact on share prices:
. . . .Actually, when I said take the red pill I didn’t realize it was a politically charged phrase. I was referring to The Matrix, you know, like you know make sure to accept reality for what it is. But it turns out it’s also like some right wing dogma thing or something I didn’t realize at the time.
Musk’s space company, SpaceX, is currently building the world’s largest rocket in Boca Chica, Texas, which he described as a “technology monastery” in his interview when asked about his recent breakup. The rocket, dubbed as Starship by SpaceX, is hoping for its first orbital flight early next year, January if Musk has its way, and it aims to stand alongside The Boeing Company’s Space Launch System (SLS) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Artemis program that aims to establish a presence on the Moon.
SpaceX has also won a multibillion-dollar NASA contract for landing humans on the lunar surface, through Starship’s upper stage spacecraft. Meanwhile, the company’s Falcon 9 rockets regularly fly astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) alongside other satellite launches. These include those for SpaceX’s own Starlink satellite internet constellation, which is a hefty contributor to the aerospace company’s valuation.
