A Musky Odour?

There are very mixed responses to Time magazine's selection of Elon Musk, as their 'Person of the Year' (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/14/elon-musk-time-person-of-the-year-worst-ever-choice-say-critics). Time point out that their selection is based on, who they feel has had the most impact (for better or worse) on the world in the last 12 months. On the plus side, he is now the planet's richest billionaire and has helped to popularise electric cars (these are not without their own environmental problems and he certainly didn't build them for altruistic reasons). On the negative side, Musk is decidedly tax and union averse. He has been unhelpful in his tweets about the Covid19 pandemic (which has not helped medical responses). Musk is also a keen advocate of space tourism, a distinctly damaging activity for everyone on this planet (except for the bank balances of a few multibillionnaires). His other, largely-unregulated, plans for space (littering orbits with his debris, planning to fly tiny numbers of humans to Mars etc) also seem to be highly problematic. In terms of actual impact, Musk's selection seems reasonable. In terms of providing a suitable role model, it stinks!
