Trump Mocks TIME Magazine's Cover Featuring Elon Musk

(MENAFN) Donald Trump has openly ridiculed TIME magazine’s latest cover, which features Elon Musk. The February 24, 2025, edition shows the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX sitting at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office. In the striking image, Musk is seated at the desk with both the American and presidential flags behind him. He holds a coffee cup in his left hand, exuding a casual yet powerful presence.

The accompanying article, titled "Inside Elon Musk’s War on Washington," discusses Musk’s efforts to reform the federal government since Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Musk is portrayed as a key ally of Trump, tasked with leading the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and the feature explores his initiatives to challenge traditional governmental processes.

Trump, however, was less than impressed with the magazine’s choice. During a conversation with journalists on Friday, he remarked, "No… Is TIME Magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that.” His comment followed TIME's decision two months prior to name him as their 'Person of the Year,' an honor he also received after his 2016 presidential election victory. Trump's dismissive attitude towards the magazine's recent cover highlights his ongoing tension with mainstream media outlets.
