Summary
Donald Trump mocked Time magazine after its latest cover depicted Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk, questioning if the magazine was “still in business.”
While pretending indifference, the cover likely irritated him, as he was ecstatic just months ago when Time named him 2024 Person of the Year.
Speaking at the White House, Trump tried to dismiss the cover’s implications and praised Musk for uncovering “fraud and corruption.”
Despite his criticism, Trump has long craved Time’s approval, even displaying a fake cover of himself.
Hey, instead of asking him about a magazine cover - then acting like it’s some huge win when he pretends to think the magazine was out of business, and goes on to complete Musk…
…maybe just maybe, you could ask him how Musk’s department might go about investigating SpaceX grants and the government funding it get?
You could even use bog adult journalism terms like “Conflict of Interest”.
