Elon Musk is the clear favourite to win the 2023 Time Person of the Year award
Betting remains available on this year's Time Person of the Year award and bookmakers have kept Elon Musk as the favourite to win the award for the second time.
Musk has been a predominant figure in the media throughout the year with his purchase of Twitter, and eventual rebrand to X, causing big effects for the way we use social media.
The businessman and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla has already won the Time Person of the Year award back in 2021 with the magazine saying he had the greatest influence for that year.
Paddy Power expect him to win the award once again this year with the latest betting odds suggesting an implied probability of 50% that he is voted Person of the Year again.

| Volodymyr Zelenskyy | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Sam Altman | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Joe Biden | 6/1 | 14.3% |
