BASED: TIME Mag Names Vaccine Mandate Critic Elon Musk Its 2021 ‘Person of the Year’

Too bad for the left, they can’t mandate who wins “Person of the Year.” So TIME magazine decided to give the world’s richest man Elon Musk that honor, though he’s become a vocal critic of vaccine mandates and the left.

TIME’s write-up of its decision to christen Musk, the outlet stated that “Musk has spent a lifetime defying the haters; now, it seems, he’s finally in position to put them in their place.” Musk certainly has been ruffling leftist feathers as of late. He slapped down the idea of government-imposed vaccine mandates as the “‘erosion of freedom in America,’” according to Yahoo! Yahoo! Finance. In addition, Musk repudiated President Joe Biden’s leftist infrastructure plan during the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit: “‘Honestly, I would just can this whole bill. Don’t pass it.’” He continued to hammer the left’s spending spree: “‘In general, if we don’t cut government spending something really bad is going to happen. This is absurd. Our spending is so far in excess of revenue it’s insane.’”

The lede paragraph for TIME’s “Person of the Year” article humorously celebrated Musk’s bona fides:

According to recent reports, the most wealthy man on Earth doesn’t own a house. He has also been selling his fortune. He sends satellites in orbit to harness the sun and drives a car that he designed. It uses very little gas and doesn’t need a driver. The stock market can soar or sink with a swipe of his finger. His every word is cherished by an army of followers. When he is square-jawed indomitable, he dreamed of Mars. Elon Musk has been tweeting about his pees lately., [emphasis added.]

Also, the magazine said Musk “embodies the zeitgeist of this liminal age.” That’s high praise coming from the notoriously left-wing magazine, given that Musk decimated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for whining about the richTwitter users are paying their fair shares Nov. Musk responded to Sanders: “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive.” Musk’s swipe at Sanders came after TIME published a glowing report on Sanders’ efforts to get Biden’s multitrillion-dollar disaster of a budget bill passed.

The magazine, however, proceeded to offer artsy fartsy interpretations of Musk’s persona:

The man who strives to save the planet and give us new life: genius, clown, magician, showman, cad. A madcap mix of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie and Watchmen’s Doctor Manhattan, Blue-skinned, brooding man-godWho invented electric cars that can be moved to Mars. [emphasis added].
