Elon Musk - the man who pushes the boundaries of both technology and trolling - has been named Time’s Person of the Year

The magazine said he had been chosen for his work in space, his development of electric cars, and his interest in cryptocurrency.

But it also acknowledged his mischievous side and noted that he “likes to live-tweet his poops”.

The awards have been running for almost 100 years and recent winners include Greta Thunberg, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
