when you're rich they let you
There is something truly next level about bragging to rich people about how much you enjoy something simple.
This comes to mind
That's hilarious, thank you for the laugh

No, he does not care at all. Nope. Doesn't care about what the media says. No bearing, none.
He handled it well in fact, saying he thought they Time was out of business, then complimenting Elon's performance in his role.
...the Liberal media painting this as a huge win, rather than honestly admitting "We're too scare to ask about Musk's conflicts of interests because we represent the same rich assholes ge does" is part of how they contribute to the disconnect between politics and reality... And it's part of how the election was lost, via sane washing, clickbaiting, and selective ignorance.
This is the same guy that was beefing with Rosie O'Donnell for how long?
Oh, and still has an axe to grind with SPY magazine's founders, from shit they said about him in....checks calendar....the 80s?
Still whiny that Obama has a bigger crowd size than him.
I wonder if, like Hitler being a failed artist, if donvict had actually felt he was successful and actually accepted by most people that he looks up to (and they don't accept him, since he's a weird freak) if his life would have had a different turn. Maybe they should have given him some talk show on TV or radio and make him feel Bigly Important at various events where TMZ or whatever is there to fawn over him.

Journalist: "We have found reason to believe there may be a conflict of interest in the way SpaceX receives government funding!"
Official: "Nonsense! He is a brilliant entrepreneur, blessed by the free market!"
Journalist: "But if he receives government grants and also holds influence over government decisions, shouldn’t we at least investigate?"
Official: "Investigate? Are you mad? That’s not how modern governance works!"
Journalist: "How does it work?"
Official: "Well, if he weighs the same as a rocket... he's a genius!"
Crowd: "A genius!! Burn the critics!!"
Journalist: "But that doesn't make any sense!"
Official: "Look, strange billionaires distributing subsidies is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of regulatory oversight, not from handing out massive contracts to one's own companies!"
Journalist: "So you'll investigate?"
Official: "What? No! Now go away, or I shall dismiss you a second time!"
I wish the independent hadn't used such a high def photo of him-- you can really see all the nooks and crannies of his shit ass bronzer shotgun applicator. He looks so fucking old. I doubt he's making it through the next 4 years alive.
You'd think that, but these evil assholes seem to live forever.
Guaranteed that he has no idea the Times person of the year doesn't mean the greatest and bestest person of the year. Just the world's biggest shit disturber of the year, for good or ill.
Donald′s classic ″You are so lame and unpopular, nobody knows who you are″ rebuttal. Such a quick witted mind he has.
TBF Elon actually uncoverd a lot of corruption. Just not the way Trump thinks
Indeed. The day after inauguration, Elon woke up, walked to the bathroom, flipped on the light, and stared straight ahead, instantly discovering corruption the likes of which America has never seen.
FREE SPEECH! FREE SPEECH! unless it's something I don't like
The irony of these first amendment people targetting the press is that the text of the 1A specifically mentions freedom of the press...
People like to quote the 1A as all about being MY SPEECH
Oh now that's funny.
Psychological warfare. Trump's an easy mark. We need more of it...
Hey, instead of asking him about a magazine cover - then acting like it's some huge win when he pretends to think the magazine was out of business, and goes on to complete Musk...
....maybe just maybe, you could ask him how Musk's department might go about investigating SpaceX grants and the government funding it get?
You could even use bog adult journalism terms like "Conflict of Interest".
It's only a matter of time before some MAGA psychopath goes all Charlie Hebdo on some media outlet that insults Trump.

Time’s latest pantomime—a Musk-Tump fusion seated at the Resolute Desk of Delusion. Classic. The man who thinks truth is a flexible spreadsheet and the guy who thinks “fraud and corruption” is a compliment. Peak propaganda.
Trump’s “indifference” is as convincing as Musk’s “genius.” Both crave validation from the same media they pretend to despise. Pathetic. Time’s covers? Just participation trophies for oligarchs cosplaying as revolutionaries.
The real joke? Watching these clowns orbit each other’s egos while the world burns. But hey, at least the Resolute Desk now doubles as a therapy couch for billionaires with daddy issues.
Okay, but this is seriously funny.
It's not his Resolute Desk
Any good politician would at least think twice about this before just attacking them back like a little child. If I were president and this would happen, I would work on fixing my image instead of ruining it even more.
The last 10 years have been one of bullying and turning people into hateful assholes.
LOL, donvict is just such a predictable little butthurt baby.
Time Magazine didn't lie (this time)
Dear Trump: You will never find true happiness, whacha gonna do? Cry about it.
Dude is seriously running out of time to find it, too.
When was The Orange Fart Person of the Year?
just a reminder that 'person of the year' is not necessarily 'good person of the year'..
it is awarded to people who have had significant impact on global events during the year (i.e. 'news makers')--good OR bad.

If all our media outlets would treat him with that kind of respect we might have a better shot at kicking his sorry ass out
