        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

          His own thing is still Project 2025 unfortunately.

            I would expect far crazier than Project 2025.

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

            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.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
