Time magazine’s provocative cover puts Elon Musk behind Trump’s desk
CNN ^ | Fri February 7, 2025 | Liam Reilly

In a provocative move that could be aimed at stoking President Donald Trump’s ire, Time magazine’s latest print cover features Elon Musk behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

The storied biweekly publication, known for its historically significant covers, comes as Trump has given Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency extraordinary power to gut the federal workforce — power that has been stymied, at least to a degree, over the past few days by some lawsuits.

The simple cover, which shows Musk, coffee in hand, sandwiched between the presidential desk and the American and presidential flags, is plainly adorned with a red backdrop. The accompanying piece from Simon Schuster and Brian Bennett delves deeper into Musk’s ruthless campaign that has left “millions of government workers [to] find themselves at Musk’s mercy.”

LOL. For the past four years, a bunch of faceless Lib zealots actually ran the country using Dementia Joe as their clueless figurehead and this fringe publication that no one reads anymore didn’t say a thing.

Folks who spend a lot of time in doctors' waiting rooms. They'll probably see the magazine in three months if they put their phones down.

So CNN and Time

You telling us you just upset that all corruption and graft in the US Federal budget is being uncovered

That a pretty strange position for supposed “Journalists” to be taking. Are you not all suppose to be “the 4th Estate” “taking on the powerful and uncovering corruption and wrong doing”?

Trump was asked about it.

His answer was does Time magazine still exist?

After saying he doesn’t care, it’s nothing.

They think they can push his buttons because they have only their superficial caricature understanding of Trump.

Yeah. That’ll work. To be fair smart people aren’t going to work for a magazine with the circulation of a lost dog poster.

As a point of reference
when I was a young kid I had comic magazines thicker than Time magazine is today.

The difference is night and day. Amazing.

The level of openness, transparency, direct communication.

If we lost it would be Soros (hypothetically). Transparency is not a thing with Marxists.

Make fun all you want. Musk ia appointed by the One who has vested in him all executive power.

And it will be more than a hair cut.

MAD Magazine carries more weight in true intellectual circles.
