Ooh that’s gotta hurt Trump.

[–] cm0002 72 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hopefully it throws him into a rage and burns whatever demented plan they had cooked up and just goes off the rails doing his own thing

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (3 children)

His own thing is still Project 2025 unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would expect far crazier than Project 2025.

Like calling for the annexation of Luxembourg, Nauru, and Lesotho.

[–] MutilationWave 6 points 2 days ago

You think he's ever heard of those places?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Well, they’d have to get rid of Curtis Yarvin’s brown grub that is JD Vance. But at least the “Butterfly Revolution” would be squashed and stopped from doubling these weak minded tech bros from reinventing the world.

At this point, I'd rather someone compitent to completely fuck the government rather than musk

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago

Oh, wow. Better than I imagined.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

Lmfao Trump WOULD lose his cool over this.

Amazing. Just amazing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I saw this and thought maybe it was real but I guess not.

[–] Zahille7 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is that an actual photo that was taken? Musk sitting in the Oval Office at the president's desk?

Cause Jesus fuck...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Most likely AI or photoshop

[–] rickdg 8 points 2 days ago

Good cover 👍

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a pretty genius move, because if there was anything that was going to make Trump kick Elon out it would be this kind of direct strike right to his ego.

*#PresidentElon please start using this hashtag 🙏

President Musk and First Buddy Trump.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

President Musk and First ~~Buddy~~ Bottom Trump.

[–] Zron 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh I seriously doubt trump is First bottom. Musk has all those teenagers running around with him, sleeping together in government offices. One of those strapping young fascists probably has the honor of being the favorite.

Found this gem on Rednote

[–] uberdroog 53 points 2 days ago

This is the way to get them.

[–] FlyingSquid 45 points 2 days ago

During a press conference Friday alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump tried to play it off as if he were totally unbothered by the cover, insinuating that he wasn’t aware that the popular American news magazine (which named him “Person of the Year” in December) was still around.

“Is Time magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that,” Trump said when asked for a reaction to the provocative cover, sparking laughter from the room.

Should we all buy a copy to make it the best selling issue in years?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Someone please frame several copies, and distribute them like Easter eggs around Mar-a-lago.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago

Lol stay mad, fascist.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You know, it’s crazy. The moment I learned that fucking Hitler was once Time’s Person of the Year, I think I’d be once and for all OK with year upon year passing where I was not that year’s Person.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah sorry bud but You were Time's person of the year in 2006 so now we're all complicit!

[–] SpraynardKruger 6 points 2 days ago

God, I miss how amazing the Internet used to be

[–] FlexibleToast 24 points 2 days ago

That's because they pick who was the most influential person, not who did the most good. Elon certainly has had a huge impact especially with controlling X and buying a president.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

But Trump’s cavalier attitude to the magazine’s focus belies the fact that he spent years pining for it to name him “Person of the Year.” In fact, Time’s decision to feature Steve Bannon on the cover in the early days of Trump’s first term effectively ended his romance with his top strategist.

Imagine caring this much about that stuff. It must be hard work being Trump.
