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.
Elon is filthy rich though. There is a difference.
He’s rich so far, but he really seems to be alienating his consumer customer base. If he keeps this up, his car company could crash as fast as it grew, and maybe his other customers will start reacting
He’s worth over $400 billion. He could literally set warehouses full of cash on fire and not notice.
