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.
Maybe it will have the same effect with muskrat.
I don’t think he could. Musk and the techbros alongside him likely saved the Trump campaign from financial ruin. Trump can’t be rid of them if he wanted to.
Why? It’s not like he has to worry about reelection.
I’ll copy pasta something I wrote a while back in a similar thread. These guys have plenty of levers over Trump.
"Hey, Clarence, how you doing? Virgina doing OK? Good, good. Hey, I was just thinking, my wife and I were going to use the yacht this weekend, but we had something else come up. It’s all stocked and fueled, and it’d be a shame if it went to waste. Would you and Virginia like to get away? Ok, excellent, I’ll let the crew know.
“Oh, and Thomas, you know that big ruling on Trump’s boarder plan? Yeah, make sure it doesn’t go the President’s way. Yes, of course, I’ll make sure there’s plenty of eyebrow torture porn on the shipboard theater.”
Given that one of those “tech bros” is currently setting up the system that trump NEEDS to reach the point of not worrying about reelection he HAS to brown nose them
Why they don’t include the cover confuses me.
It’s in the Twitter screenshot in the middle of the article. It’s right after everyone laughed at Trump for pretending he didn’t know Time was still around.
Probably copyright.
You can’t, like, own a magazine cover, man.
He won’t get rid of musk as easily as he did bannon. He’s already into pretty much everything. trump is chained to musk now, and so is the entire country.
But Trump’s rabid followers don’t really like Musk either. If Trump would declare him an enemy, he would be gone pretty quickly. Not without causing a lot of (further) damage in the process of course.
Trust me, plenty of them like him. I have a telegram strictly for the purpose of seeing the narrative being spun in a lot of MAGA groups, since they all like to convene there.
Musk is “eliminating fraud” and “exposing the deep state” like no one in history
Whatever Trump is fine with, his base is going to follow suit. Until Trump says something bad about Musk, the majority are going to think this is all part of what needs to be done
Gooood… Goooooood.
Let the Hate flow through you Donnie. See Elon as your enemy.
Two narcissistic idiots will have a falling out over being narcissistic idiots.
Trump kept a fake Time magazine cover featuring himself on the walls of his golf courses.
Maybe TIME can shitpost trump into having Elon arrested, or better yet just shot by the secret service.
