The internet went wild when billionaire Elon Musk offered his congratulations to Taylor Swift on her recent recognition as Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”. Swift is the first artist in this century to receive such an honorable title, following in the footsteps of notable individuals like former King Charles III and Musk himself. Among the many well-wishers, Musk took to Twitter to say “Congratulations. Usually after receiving this title, popularity goes down. I’ve experienced it so I know haha.” Though it may have been meant as a light-hearted comment, Musk’s message quickly spread across social media and was seen by many as a bit of a taunt.
Elon Musk places immense value on the knowledge and experience of those who came before him. He understands that learning from the successes and mistakes of his predecessors can greatly benefit him in achieving his goals.
Let’s send some good vibes to Taylor Swift! Apparently, Twitter’s founder was named “Person of the Year” by Time magazine in 2021. Elon Musk has been involved in quite a few controversies since then, including acquiring Twitter, having disagreements with Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, and even retiring! He’s also been spotted hanging out with Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, but that’s not all. The billionaire recently split up and got remarried before having another child with singer Grimes. Interestingly enough, Elon Musk even had to “ask” Taylor Swift and other celebs to post on Twitter so that the social network wouldn’t “flop.”
Time has chosen the Twitter CEO as its “Person of the Year” for 2021. While it’s uncertain if Elon Musk’s desires will come true, Taylor Swift remains one of the most prosperous artists worldwide. She has now become a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion (around 27,000 billion VND), being the first artist to achieve this feat solely through music, unlike Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z, who entered the beauty and fashion industries.
Following the triumphant performances of The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has now become a member of the billionaire club.
