Trump turns on Time magazine after new cover shows Musk sitting behind his Resolute desk Just months ago, Trump was crowing about being named the magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year.
Attempting to shrug off a recent Time cover showing Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk as president, Donald Trump mockingly asked whether the magazine was “still in business” while claiming he hadn’t seen the latest issue.
President, do you have any reaction to the new Time cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your Resolute Desk?” a White House reporter wondered while the president’s body language noticeably changed.
On the same day the magazine’s Person of the Year edition hit newsstands, featuring the newly elected president as its recipient, Trump was given his first opportunity to ring the New York Stock Exchange opening bell.
“Time Magazine, getting this honor for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually,” he said in December.
