Although his ventures have been highly influential within their separate industries up to current day, Musk only became a public figure in the early 2010s. He has been described as an eccentric who makes spontaneous and impactful decisions, while also often making controversial statements, contrary to other billionaires who prefer reclusiveness to protect their businesses. Musk's actions and expressed views have made him a polarizing figure.[1] Biographer Ashlee Vance described people's opinions of Musk as polarized due to his "part philosopher, part troll" role on Twitter.[2]

Musk was a partial inspiration for the characterization of Tony Stark in the Marvel film Iron Man (2008).[3] Musk also had a cameo appearance in the film's 2010 sequel, Iron Man 2.[4] Musk has made cameos and appearances in other films such as Machete Kills (2013),[5] Why Him? (2016),[6] and Men in Black: International (2019).[7] Television series in which he has appeared include The Simpsons ("The Musk Who Fell to Earth", 2015),[8] The Big Bang Theory ("The Platonic Permutation", 2015),[9] South Park ("Members Only", 2016),[10][11] Young Sheldon ("A Patch, a Modem, and a Zantac®", 2017),[12] Rick and Morty ("One Crew over the Crewcoo's Morty", 2019),[13][14] and Saturday Night Live (2021).[15] He contributed interviews to the documentaries Racing Extinction (2015) and the Werner Herzog-directed Lo and Behold (2016).[16][17]

Awards for his contributions to the development of the Falcon rockets include the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics George Low Transportation Award in 2008,[18] the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Gold Space Medal in 2010,[19] and the Royal Aeronautical Society Gold Medal in 2012.[20] In 2015, he received an honorary doctorate in engineering and technology from Yale University[21] and an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Honorary Membership.[22] Musk was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2018.[23] In February 2022, Musk was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.[24]

Time has listed Musk as one of the most influential people in the world on four occasions: in 2010,[25] 2013,[26] 2018,[27] and 2021.[28] Musk was selected as Time's "Person of the Year" for 2021. Then Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal wrote that, "Person of the Year is a marker of influence, and few individuals have had more influence than Musk on life on Earth, and potentially life off Earth too."[29][30]
