Washington/IBNS: Time magazine on Monday named Tesla founder and space entrepreneur Elon Musk as its person of the year.

Musk, 50, has emerged as one of the most popular names in the American business circle in recent years.

He has a massive 66 million followers on Twitter.

Musk guest-hosted the famed late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live in May.

"Person of the Year is a marker of influence, and few individuals have had more influence than @elonmusk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too," tweeted Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal in announcing the winner.

In October, his electric car company's valuation soared above a whopping trillion dollars.

Musk's company SpaceX has partnered with US space agency NASA to launch various missions including smashing a rocket into an asteroid in a test run for redirecting any future Earth-bound space rock.
