The finalists include Ron DeSantis, Liz Cheney, King Charles, and Elon Musk, who was named Time’s 2021 Person of the Year

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The Time magazine has revealed the shortlist for its 2022 Person of the Year on NBC's 'Today Show' on Monday, December 5. The finalists include Ron DeSantis, Liz Cheney, King Charles, and Elon Musk, who was named Time’s 2021 Person of the Year, before taking over Twitter. Time's selection will be announced on Wednesday, December 7.

Explaining it in 2021, Time editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal told, “Person of the Year is a marker of influence, and few individuals have had more influence than Elon Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too. Time emphasizes that its annual acknowledgment is not an award, but rather, a recognition of the person who had the most influence on the events of the year, for good or for ill," as per Fox9.

Following the release of the list of candidates, netizens were quick to react by tagging Musk as a winner again and said, Liz Cheney should not be considered for it. One said, "Liz Cheney should not be considered for TIME Person of the Year, it should 100% be Elon Musk." One of many backed him by saying, "Elon Musk deserves Time person of the year for being awesome! Thank you Elon for sharing the Twitter files. Love to see more." Another wrote, "We already know @elonmusk deserves it. But as predictable as those folks are, they will give it to Liz Cheney. But nobody will care because nobody reads Time. We are all on Twitter."

While many continued to bash Cheney. One of them wrote, "@LizCheney is this @TIME‘s biggest loser edition?!?!" Another commented, "Wait, correction, Liz Cheney is a Your Time’s Up finalist." One more said, "If liz cheney is time person of the year, we know for certain the sham is in #twitterfiles"
