But of course, Time is doing it for PC reasons, not for the guy's revolutionary ideas and achievements... as Behind the Black, a space blog notes:
Musk deserves this kind of recognition, but not because he is wealthy, but because of how he became so, by actually creating businesses that fulfill needs and thus have customers pounding at the door to buy the product (Paypal, SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla). And along the way his creations have brought jobs and wealth to tens of thousands of people, and acted to rejuvenate whole industries. We need more people like Musk. The more the merrier. Only by eagerly embracing their original and creative ideas can we hope to recover the civilization we once had.
He is most famous for SpaceX, but he has other ideas on society and AI. I don't agree with him in many things, but he is a deep thinker who needs to be part of the discussion of where the world is going.
Here is Dan Carlin's podcast on Musk.
