Tesla’s Market Worth Soared to More than $1 Trillion This Year
Furthermore, Elon Musk is also the founder and CEO of SpaceX and directs brain-chip startup Neuralink and infrastructure establishment The Boring Company. Tesla’s market worth skyrocketed to more than $1 trillion this year, making it more valuable than Ford Motor and General Motors merged.
Tesla delivers hundreds of thousands of automobiles every year and has managed to prevent supply chain issues better than many of its competitors while driving many young buyers to switch to electric cars and legacy automakers to shift focus to EV vehicles.
“For creating solutions to an existential crisis, for illustrating the possibilities and the dangers of the age of tech titans, for driving society’s most daring and disruptive transformations, Elon Musk is TIME magazine’s 2021 Person of the Year,” the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Edward Felsenthal, said.
“Even Elon Musk’s spacefaring adventures are a direct line from the very first Person of the Year, Charles Lindbergh, whom the editors selected in 1927 to commemorate his historic first solo transatlantic airplane flight over the Atlantic.”
